A glass oven more like

No, the sun and glass roofs would both have slide shades.

All you have to do is go to the factory, watch your car being built and when it gets to this section of the assembly line tell them to stop and you will take it as is. Don't forget the tarp.

Now that would be the open air concept, but an aero package from hell.

Me not being the sharpest tool in the shed, but wouldn't that put you back to square one?

Hay, can't have your cake and eat it too.

Yes you can, buy two

Well..........yea. But then you open the shades, open the roof.......walla..... you're at square two.

I would love to know where this slide shades statement was made by Elio.

Go to Elio Store, then Personalization link on their main web page. But.....a sunroof or glass roof (that they speak of on that link) w/o a slide shade would be a mistake.

As an aging motorcycle enthusiast, The Elio MUST have a removable top, or at least a convertable option, or else they can keep it. Does anyone know if they will offer a removable top? Or a convertable?

From an engineering standpoint both a removable top and a convertible would require a totally reengineered frame, since you would be removing a lot of the structural stability by removing the roll cage. While I am not the one to ask, I doubt that a convertible will be produced. there will be a glass roof and a sun roof. If it is that relaxing wind in your face we get from our MC's, it probably just won't be there.

OK, so your statement was a personal assumption. Just managing my expectations. I have seen many cars with moon roofs and sun roofs that did not include a shade so there is no standard but I thought you had some written fact since you were so committed to your answer on this option. Thanks.

You may have seen aftermarket roofs w/o a shade but I ASSUME a factory install will have a shade.

They won't be selling many, if any, sun/glass roof options w/o slide sun shades........now THAT is my assumption.
The FACT is, I won't be buying w/o it.

Seriously?
Doesn't it look like the skin is just "skin," and has nothing to do with rigidity?
So I am wondering..if i took this to my Buds and said cut the top off but leave the roll cage, wouldn't i have a functioning autocycle. I took my Dodge Ram to the Boys after I bought it and asked about making it into a hardtop convertible and they pooh-poohed the idea because of the whole body adds rigidity issue.
This looks like fun....I wonder if Paul(the person) would sell it like this?
