Just wanted to know if anyone has installed a ragtop on the xB.A friend of mine had an older (early 90's) S-Series Chevy Blazer that was lowered sitting on Porsche Alloys and had a ragtop installed,looked sweet :D He did some mods on the inner body for support because of basically cutting a huge hole in the roof,never had a prob with body sag,doors closed fine etc.I thought a nice ragtop with the Mercedes Canvas would really look _____en on an xB :D There are alot of sunroof companys (at least on the west coast)that do this kind of thing in all different lengths and widths,but I have yet to see one on an xB

Do a search for a convertible xB...it was done like 2 months ago. I'm not sure but it might be in the scion evolution forums seeing how it's a members car.

i wanna do the same but ive heard of buckled roofs

bB2NER

It's been done but it looks FUGLY! It ruins the lines of the BOX and when the top is down it looks like a CABRIOLET VW BLAAHHH

I wish I had photoshop to get an idea of a ragtop on an xB,I guess when you say ragtop ppl think of a convertible

hotbox05

I saw an xB at Scion Exposed Philly with the sliding ragtop. It didnt look that bad, but it was on a black xb, so I dont know how it would look on any other colors.

I want one but none of that small slider crap... I want it as wide as it can go and from as far forward all the way back to just past the roof ridges.. I dont feel good about a nice water tight seal when putting one over the roof ridges...

you could always make it an xvertible

ProjectFusion

^^^^^^ Agreed

BoomBox757

it messes up the car, maybe it the top came back to a point so taht it was still a box

Not exactly my style from the outside, but man it would be sweet to have that big opening from the inside. One of the guys from Strictly Scions out of the Merced area:

Good call Scionic Man!Finally glad to see one,I like it,but maybe would have gotten it about a foot longer if that is even possible.

OH MY GOSH!!!! who are these guys from Merced. I used to live there and plan on moving back really soon need to know who these scion fanatics are

When I first got the xB I was thinking about getting one of those 72" rags from Street Beat. I talked to three different installation places that had nothing but bad things to say about Street Beat for daily driving. The consensus seemed to be that for show cars and trucks that aren't gonna be out in the rain or driving at highway speeds they were fine, but otherwise they should be avoided. Take this with a grain of salt as I have no personal experience with Street Beat products. Just passing on some info I got from more then one pro in the business.

i think id like a long sliding glass roof better.
