I would like to create something as close and affordable to an OEM hardtop and would like to know if I should attempt to give the hardtop a rectangular window instead of a curved window to save costs and ease of installation? I am open to any suggestions as I view this project as somewhat of a community project where I am grateful for everyone's help. I know there was another thread where they attempted to create a unique look that didn't resonate with many spyder members. Hopefully you guys can open the pictures but as it stands, I am having trouble with deciding what to do with the window. I had one of those curb ramps in front of my house and before bonding/bolting I could literally see the windshield frame move when the front wheel rolled up the ramp. I am aware that this is an ambitious project but if proven to be viable I would be happy to produce hardtops for others as well given the right price. I never built a torsion rig but after bonding the hardtop and rigid mounting at the four mounting points there was a very noticeable difference. I am using a 3d modeling software with what I believe to be a scaled model of the mr2 after some scaling that I did on the software. For reference I am taking inspiration from HutchinsRacing on Youtube and his series of videos (at the bottom of this post). Includes Hardtop, Rear Lexan Window, Window Seal & Mounting Hardware. I plan on using this project to apply for a college research grant to help with the production of the hardtop. There are no leaks and the headliner is excellent. Overall the hardtop is in good condition. This roof was removed from a 2003 spec car with paint code 1E7 Crystal Silver. Direct from the UK to your door in the USA. Seeing this price increase has caused me to want to find a more affordable way to get a hardtop. Toyota MR2 Spyder/Roadster Hardtop and complete fitting kit in original factory silver paint. I have a soft top that has seen better days and watched the prices of hardtops go from 1.5k to now 3-4k which is crazy. Some background information: I am a college student with a dream and a now working spyder.
