t-tops

how difficult and expensive would it be to add t-tops to an 84 berlinetta? don't want to spend a fortune but i love t-tops. Are they worth it? Don't they all eventually leak? Could I sell it for more with them on or not? thanks

and another beaten to death topic, one of 2 ways...

spend $1000's off dollars and basically mess up your car for the t-tops, or just buy a damn car that has them...

Instead get a dual sunroof. Its one piece, but two seperate pieces of glass. One for the driver and the other for the passenger. They look cool when they are open.

Anybody have a pic of this sunroof to show?

For about a grand you could get yourself a POWER sun/Moon Roof. The Structural integrity of your car is at risk if you install T-tops. I am thinking that T-top cars had some extra thick sheetmetal on the underside for strength, along with some other structural modifications.
