Default New Top

I am in need of a new top for my G8. I thought about buying a used fiberglass tonneau cover from a truck and cutting it down to fit. They have the nice curved sides which would look nice. So I'm on the lookout locally for a cheap one.
Anyone have any other suggestions of what might be "adaptable"?

Thanks

Fred Mc.

They're too heavy and would sway back and forth underway, IMO, I'd stick with a regular cart roof.

awhile back i put one together from sheet metal. then i happened to stop by the only cart place we have in town. bailey, the owner has about a dozen old ones out back. he said he would sell any of them for 70.00 ea. a few even had frame parts. you might try your local guys. jim

For those who are looking for a cheap roof this guy has a bunch for $20 ea.

Unfortunately( for me) he is in Florida so some on here might be able to get one.

I believe the OP is referring to a hard fiberglass truck bed cover.
