Hello to all Thinking of buying a hard top for my prowler. Need some info from those of you that have one. Do you like it, is it a pain to remove and put on. If you bought another prowler would you also buy a hard top for it. Is it quieter with the top on . Thanks Ron |

I really like my hard top and would recommend it..It does take 2 people to put it on and take it off and you can not get into the "what trunk" with it on, but that is the only downside IMO...It is much quieter with it on and it really changes the look of my cat... |

I have one for each car and I love them. More head room than the soft top and no leaks if it rains hard. Not loosing much, since you can't get into the trunk when its on. Mine are daily drivers and I put them on in the late fall and take them off in the spring, during the summer I go topless.  Metalcrafters produces the top, talk to Norb, excellent quality top and a very upstanding guy. Craig. |

as said on the other 2 posts, the dramatic change in the appearance of the cat is UNBELIEVEABLE !!! >increased headroom, little decrease in rear window , and increased blind spot , lower noise level,COOLER LOOK, GO FOR IT!!!  |

Ron In answer to your question. Yes, Yes, Yes & Yes. Having a trailer is a must for trips. |

I have one for my Candy cat and I like it more than I thought I would! It gives the car a whole different look. It has a bit more headroom......not that I need it...it does cut down on the road noise. I have to have help removing it, but it's now big deal. The only down-side for me is that I can't put the top down at a moment's notice! I have taken it off at an event and stored it. Ed books a room with two beds so he has a place to put his!  Fortunately, I'm lucky enough to have two cats, so if I want to drive a convertible, I just jump in the Black cat! |

I really like the look of the Hardtop. Mine stays on most of the time. More head room, Stereo sounds much better, very easy to remove. The top is very light, but does require two to remove. I have actually removed mine twice alone, but it is difficult. Jim ------------------ |

Has anyone ever thought of a bubble top? I wanted one on my old vette but never had the $$$.
Might make a nice one off mod. Have to think about it... |
