VW Baja Bug Conversion - Need roof cover ideas

Post by Pricilla »

Good day,

My son has a VW Baja Bug that was converted to look like what you would see in the picture [this is his vehicle].
Can anyone give us some kind of idea on how to put on a cover on the roof for rainy/cold days?
We want it in such a way that when there should be back passengers [which would not always be the case] that they are also covered.
But mostly the back cover would we up permanently - and only the driver passenger roof section would be removable

Any ideas would be much appreciated. We need ideas for a kind of frame structure for the back so that it can be covered.

The best is to take it to a canvas shop and let them cut and stitch something for you

You may have to make 2 or 3 goal post frames for the back end that will fold down on the back edge.

Then have two door flaps made that will fix onto the body with turn clips & eye holes.
