Default xb roof dimensions? rag top?

can anybody give me the dimensions for the xb? what does everyone think about installing a rag top... i think that flat rectangle roof is perfect for a full open rag top the whole lenght of the roof...

Look on the scion website and I'm sure you can find dims. there. From what I hear though the xB handles like crapola with a ragtop.

A guy had one at one of our meets. Although It's not my look exactly, the size of the opening was awesome. There's also a huge Webasto sunroof that opens half the roof practically...

I guessing he means that it affects the center of gravity by adding that weight to the top of the car, but I haven't heard any sunroof owners complaining...

(excluding tCs of course)

The roof needs to be reinforced if you remove or cut the cross supports.
Typically you would weld or bolt in a strong metal frame that joins
the two sides together before you put in the rag top.

If they forgot to do this, it would explain
why the body flexes a lot.
