    I thought about trying these.... but just like you, I can't give up any headroom. A Targa top would be nice, however the door window frames would be the problem. All Targa tops ( like Fiat X-19, 1978) have windows with no frame.

    I own a VX with a professionally installed Webasto electric tinted moon-roof (installed by previous owner), and it has a matching gray replacement headliner. The glass panel slides within the interior headliner (not outside of roof-top) and has a sliding sun-shade for total block-out. It looks and operates totally like a factory OEM moon-roof. It never leaks in full down-pour WA State rains and closes automatically when the key is turned-off. You can go to the "Webasto" sunroof website at http://webastoshowroom.com/ and contact a local installer near your home for more information on model/cost, etc. I estimate the cost to be $1000 -- $1,500 for this mod. I would not even consider going the leaky-n-cheesy route of a manual Pop-Top or T-Top. Go with a professionally installed electric moon-roof with replacement interior headliner by Webasto brand or forget the whole idea.

    My electric moon-roof mod is without a doubt my most favorite feature of my VX, and I can not imagine ever owning a VX without it. I don't trust my side door windows for fear of them maybe getting stuck in the down position, so I only use my moon-roof/sun-roof for summertime ventilation.


    Here is some more information for you:

    Enjoy.
