Sandwich the roof like the gloves in the picture

Some progress. I did cut about 5cm less than planned, can open it up later if I'd like.

Looking good, keep the photos coming. Not had a chance to use mine yet as weather been bad and I'm fitting a kitchen at my daughters. I've also fitted a new carpet in the car so need to finish that.

much easier to explain with the pictures

I'll try it out before shortening the slats or opening up the hole wider

Bit the bullet and ordered one

Stocky, I'm in Toronto, Canada and have been thinking about adding a sliding roof to our 1966 600D. I have been in touch with Legacy but was wondering if you had an update as far as -
Are you happy you with the end result ?
Anything you would have done differently ?
What about the problem with the material length ?
What colour(s) did you order ? I'm interested because ours is also white (picture attached)

Any comments / advice would be appreciated.

You all are very brave to cut into your roofs. I wouldn't have the guts.

Tim with regard the Legacy top its good quality but don't buy the one they advertise for 600 as its too big. The one I ordered in the end was 32" width and 40" length which fits the indent pretty well.
Only issue is it's not as curved as the roof but near enough with a bit of help. Colour is

SeaMark Dubonnet Tweed Canvas​

which is more a maroon than red but good quality with black lining.
I'm happy to send you any photos or advice you want to help you, good luck.

Finally opened up the size I planned to do in the beginning. Mounted front seatbelts and did a motivational start

Looks great! I am with @rusty500 in that you are very brave cutting into your car like that.

All my cutting was done on an unpainted car, so it doesn’t count, in my book.
