T-top vs 75mph towing?

Looks great.... What material did you use?
 
View attachment 76723 i posted this some time ago, but in anticipation of the same issue, and the amount of towing I do, I put a hard top on. It allowed me to mount other things, and no issue towing. I also made it a bit longer so the rain doesn’t drip on your head
Nice, can you post up where you got it from, the cost etc? Probably best to do this in a new thread with the appropriate title "Fanstastic new t-top cover" or something like that!!

SWEET!!!! What did you use Starboard? I love it, I am looking to replace my canvas and had looked into a fiberglass top....
 
I'm a risk taker with a substantial addiction to speed, but towing at 75 is something i won't do. Skydiving, rock climbing, street bikes, I'm good with, but I'm a 65 max kind of guy when towing with my family. Be careful! Hopefully it's a 1 ton dually you tow with.
 
Here is the drawing he posted with the original thread. I just sent it to a local plastic dealer for a quote
Rich NW,
How did you attach this to the T-top?
 

I plan on using a similar method as the radar install shown in this video. That will keep my powder coat in tact, I run in salt water a lot and don't want to use self tapping screws through the powder coat.
