Non vw rag top in a beetle?
Theres been a lot of discussion on here recently about golde ragtops and the like.
My question is could a webasto or britax folding sunroof be made to fit a beetle?
There are heaps of these on ebay that have come off MGB's and Triumphs at a quarter of the price of a Golde.
If the dimensions are correct what could be a potential problem fitting one of these?
cheers

they are always available on the U.K ebay and the USA.
I know britax made them for beetles but the chances of getting a specific one for a beetle are very slim.
Could one for an MGB fit or be made to fit?

The MGB GT hardtop had a folding sliding sunroof in some models as did the Triumph GT6 ( hardtop Spitfire shape) I think these were aftermarket, if
that is the case they would likely be Webasto or Britax and sizewise would be almost certainly to be able to be fitted to a VW , (with a mild Q?
regarding roof curvature) the only way to find out any details for sure would be to post the questions on the Triumph and MG sites I reckon.
