And please, don't show me a pic of that Maxima with a landau top, I've seen it before. I am talking about a full opening rag? Any Maximas?


Reason why I ask is......
Well, can't really tell you why...

J/k, just wanted to see what's up here...You have to admit though, probably a good idea to look for a Ragtop Maxima on Maxima.org, wouldn't you say?

Due to the beautiful weather almost all year long, it would be nice to have a ragtop, since moonroofs are somewhat tiny, IMO...I wonder what it would look like to have a ragtop in a 4th gen...

Alex that would be so hot! I see them on Hyundais and such over here all the time I keep wanting one. Only thing is I'm scared of leaks and if it will flow well with the round curves of the car.

Here is a 5th Gen. I talked to a guy out in Cali (don't even remember where), but he said that it would be close to $17,000 to do it this way. To start, here is what you would have to do:

1) Cut and restablize the roof.
2) Weld the front and back door together
3) Cut the door and weld the back of it to the car
4) Move the door sill (in between the doors)to the back of the car.
5) Get custom Glass for the front and back windows.
6) Get the roof
7) Mount a motor for the roof.

All this along with the other little stuff.

ragtop is a big sunroof with a "rag" top on it that slide back and forth either motorized or not.
