Hey Bill:Thanks for sharing your idea!I am a Newbie as well, and knew I had to make some changes as I use my PB religiously in my TDI.I have looked at dash mount units and other mod styles but have not been impressed with any of them. Now I have to find a welder!If you come up with a kit let me know.Thanks,Bob

Good Evening Pink:I agree with you, that the only way to get the front end down is with an adjustable beam.I was lucky enough to find an OEM unit with German adjusters over at CIP1.It will be here in a week or so, then I’ll be back to your tuning thread.Thanks,Bob

Good Morning Paul:I didn’t think you doubted me, but they are a little hard to describe, and as they say “A picture is worth —“.I think I will have to get a new windshield to fit a new top. I like the looks of it too, but it DOES get a little breezy. I’m not sure if wind wings would help the situation.Thanks for the interest, and any suggestions…[Read more]

Good Morning Pink:Thanks for the tip !At this point I don’t even have the frame (only two roll bars). I have used Sunbrella before on my boats, and have found it to be very durable.
