Sun Visors , Sun Roof, Moon Roof, Glass Roof, Convertible?

You can always pull over when it starts to rain and take the hard top out of the trailer you are pulling to haul it around in or you can take a plastic tarp out of the trunk and cover the car parked on the side of the road till it stops raining. Sounds like fun. Can you say, sun roof?

LOL

Look at the top on a 500c or a Citron 2VC...

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.

I'm not asking to remove the roll cage or for a convertible. I'm asking to be able to unbolt the roof panel.

That'd work for me

Yeah. You'd end up with a jeep-like convertible which is not bad at all.

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

Hey,
HAY is for cows.

Yes there are aftermarket companies that make "sliding rag-tops". Even POWERED ones. When installed correctly, they do not leak, even when you TRY to spray water under it with a garden hose.They come in sizes to fit vehicles from mini trucks, up to pretty much the full roof of a van. When the Elio is in production, It will definitely require a custom size, but if the "interest" is there, I have little doubt they would make them to fit. I would be in the front of the line for one.

How about a pair of little sidecars, one for each side.

LOL, I like the way you think. Oh, and don't forget the "Bass boat Metal-flake" paint job!

I forgot about the metal-flake paint jobs... That would do it.
