    hard top trade for a pickup top in northeast

    I have a pickup top with all the parts and sliding rear window in good condition in Maine that I may trade for a tropical top and rear door in good condition. PM me if you have a white trop top or a hard top with alpine windows that you want to trade.

      Thanks everyone for your input. This forum is most helpful in getting answers quickly.

      I think that because of the highback seat issue (not fitting) that I will stick with the hard top. I put the Exmore seats in becuuse of safety concerns. My wife was in a rear-end collision at a stop sign (long story) but if she had been in the Rover with the "short" seats she, and anyone else in the car, would have been killed.

      Again thanks.

        I just bought a pick up cab and it seems great. I had a normal station wagon roof but I took it off for the summer. I had to go pick up the roof for a different truck, so i figured why not throw it on and I immediately felt like it would be warmer and the truck felt like it was smaller but not in the cab. I look forward to putting it permanently on my d100 hybrid.

          I have a P/U top and full Africa side hard top that I run on my 1971 Military 109. The hard top is nice for camping and lockable storage space. I also use the full rack on it for hauling long stuff like water pipe and lumber. I like the P/U top in the winter b/c the heater works alot better. I also have an auxillary heater that I got from a tractor supply place and plumbed it into the old ambulance heater hoses..It's quite warm even in the teens weather. Both of my tops have LaSalle fiberglass headliners. Underneath that I put foil-foam duct insulation directly on the metal. I have high back seats which do fit. I'm 6'1 1/2" and I fit in ok (for a Rover)
