that looks like the webasto 400 rag top ... but i think u said its bigger ... hrmm
id def be worried about snow piling up on top .... how well is that going to hold up to 1ft - 2ft of snow ?? ... thats one of the main reasons for me NOT getting that roof (or the 400 i shoudl say) and going with the 524 panoramic

as far as snow goes...it has the bars going across and its taut...very taut. the only reason i don't have one on mine isn't because of the weather..its because of the stresses from autox/roadracing on the chassis. in those extreme conditions i'm not sure it won't flex...may or maynot but i'm not chancing it under those extreme conditions. One good thing...that piece cut out i bet weighed 100lbs.

very first day we had a big big down pour. drove it home 25miles with no issues. I'm not sure i would bring it through a car wash because of the jets squirting at angles from the side and up...but it has not leaked at all.
