Will this hardtop fit?

[Jackyche]

I know some people mentioned that Lotus Elise hardtop fits the roadster.

Can anyone comment on if this item will fit? Seems real cheap compared to Mr. Fiat/Tesla solution.

I sen the seller a message but I doubt he/she will know definitively if it fits a Roadster.

Why would you want this one? There's no weather seals or anything... so its going to be very noisy and will leak when it rains. Its a very rough fitting top that needs to be trimmed and there's no mounting bolts / points (hence why they throw in a free tube of SikaFlex). That top is really for track days / keeping the sun off you. The Clear Top is in a totally different ballpark and worth every penny. As for the Tesla hard-top, it gives the Roadster a different look/feel. I have both but prefer the cleartop but like putting the Tesla top on to change the lines/look of the car.

Have to agree with Wiztecy on the flimsy lightweight roof. Best avoided.

For not much more money you can buy a lined double-skinned version as I did. I relined it with even more sound proofing, and added a copper sheet ground plane antenna to drastically improve radio reception.

The cockpit is now much much quieter when cruising over 60mph. I can even make mobile calls and listen to the radio/cd now ... :biggrin:
