Here's a picture of the roadster top with the metal plate removed.

From the factory set, for those who have not seen the production photos from the Karman factory, these are interesting photos.

Did you notice how some one added the last photo of the red Roadster? That is not a stock XFire off the boat.

That is REDCROSS' old roadster. He is the one who received all of the photos from Karmann and posted them to flickr.com.

Forget the car, must be a hell of a time getting in and out the front door. Must have French doors huh?

BESTTIMESNOW,
Thanks for the pics. So basically, The front almost 12" of our convertible top is beefier than any car roof ever produced. Interesting....

Great links! I especially like the slide show from the Karmann Factory. I wonder if that's my yellow roadster in one of the photos with the top going down?
