they were disscontinued? that would suck big time!

well first off trikkonceptz what 2 have you put on your xb? i want a big one not one like in ctruss's profile (no offense if you are reading ths ctruss) i am thinking a 4 ft long one that takes up most of the width of the xB.

Holy blind spots Batman.



The vinyl almost matches the paint. Cool idea but, I would have kept the rear window opening square though.

Props on the roof Any loss of body rigidness?

i did the vinyl just playing and decided i would leave it for awile and i have no blind spot becuse i could not see out of the parts that are coverd and when i look out the rear view all i see is the primeter of the oval . as for the roof im sure it flexes some but it does not handel any diffrent

See

Or

I asked my Webasto dealer for a price on the Hollandia 400 Folding Canvas SR, as it was my first choice. He said he would not sell it and did not recommend it. Apparently in the long run they do not hold up well and are not easily repaired.

He said he had installed several Hollandia 740 Power Inbuilt SRs in xBs, and they were very satisfactory. The glass goes back under the metal roof. He quoted $1295. I have not decided yet.
