This is a “bikini” top. It keeps the sun off your dome. There are no side seals or inside liner because they add weight, cost and are not necessary. The top overhangs the windows keeping the weather and wind at bay. We’ve driven with the outside temps in the 20s and been quite comfortable in a t-shirt in the cabin. When parked you can just barely see the window gap at the rear as if you’ve cracked the windows for ventilation. The noise level is about the same as with the soft top.
Other benefits:
1. For the track and auto-x crowd, helmets fit through the window! Handing a helmet to a buddy no longer requires opening the door. Now possible to get out of the car through the window in case of fire, which is a huge safety advantage.
2. Beautiful gel-coat + clear finish looks like a million bucks at Cars & Coffee
3. Grey Gel-coat can be easily painted to match your car.
4. Top will fit inside the car should you want to put the soft-top on.
5. Easy custom attachment system uses stock mounting points.
6. More head/helmet room.
7. Costs 1/3 as much as other carbon fiber tops.
8. Made in the USA.
9. Did I mention as light as ~5 lbs!?!
The only downside is that these are handmade, one at a time. So we are limited to about 1 per week. We’ll take orders and start a list but it is first come, first served!
