I didn't understand your question at first.
I imagine it is for structural purposes. Does the SLK look similar in that area?

BTW - the Solstice/Sky tops are horrible. I have old t-shirts that look better.

Honestly....The Solstice/Sky tops look like they were an afterthought.

The rest of the car looks pretty good.....they just gave up on the top!

It always reminds me of a tent!

The obvious reason (using common sense) that this piece is so thick appears to be in order to accomodate these 2 large rectangular recesses (about 3 inches tall and 12" wide) into them and cover them with fitted metal plates. But what are the plates/recesses for? Thanks for at least responding, it is more fun to read silly repsones than noen at all.
OK, the thick part your refer to houses the mechanical components that lock the roof. The latching mechanism. The two rectangular recess parts can be removed by the technician to access these parts.

That's it.

Doesn't the SLK have a retractable "Hard Top"?

Yes. I thought the top of the windshield may look similar - but it does not.

Hi Guys,

My opinion, the rectangular edgings were designed for safety purposes. crumple and collapse to prevent major head injuries in a collission. The thickness of the bar is for structural rigidity.

You must keep her at home all the time because it must be a "Huge" problem for her to get in and out of your XFire.

Probably support for conv. top not to look inflated at high speeds.
