The carbon slicktop thread

[bavarian3]

Anyone happen to have an extra slick top coat hanger bracket? Apparently they are NLA. I was able to order the right bracket and the roof bow, but no luck on the left bracket.

I grabbed an extra set off a non-m slicktop and for the life of me can't find them. I'll PM you if I can dig them up.

Godspeed brother. Shoot me a text if you have any questions. (832) 3I2-474O



Check out my DIY thread. I shined a light around the perimeter from the outside and made sure no light was coming thru on the inside. No leaks and no noises. You just have to take your time and do it right the first time.

Thank you! Expect a text from me later this week. Would love to to clarify some things before superglueing this thing on. I also just added you on IG. I've been posting some clips to stories of all the "fun".

bhenderson def check out SQ's DIY. Not sure I would've tackled this myself without it. The idea is that the roof perimeter is sealed to water by panel bond. Then vibrations are handled just like the factory does by using windshield adhesive or similar between the roof bows and cf panel.

I am curious with these carbon roof installs, do you have to deal with leaks or noises? How do you ensure it's sealed properly?

If anything (and if done correctly per SQ13 ) it is quieter without a 2x3' hole on the roof!

Indeed. Good things. Very good things.

I keep thinking, I’ll do this someday when all the other problems with my car are fixed, but then I remember what car I’m talking about.

Some day I'll do that too !
Love the pictures in this thread !

Thanks Casa de Mesa I figured, but was curious what others did since I didn't see them mentioned anywhere.

Found an old pic. I couldn't find a pic where I capped them off, but I purchased an assortment of silicone caps off from McMasters or Amazon (can't remember) and just capped them similar to the red caps in the 2nd pic. If you measure the OD of the drain pipes, you can pick up the right size caps pretty easily.

Or... just leave them be. I can't imagine they'd be an issue if left open.
