I saw a new Xb at a dealership with a ragtop in it and it looked HOT! Have it installed. If I could afford it I would have one put in ours tomorrow.

I don't like 'em, but lots of people do. Keep in mind how long you want to keep your xB and remember that after 7-10 years an aftermarket sunroof may not seal that well...

Post up pics if you do though!

Install that thing. I have a 2006 xB on order and the dealer is installing a Webasto cloth sunroof as one of the options.

Search for Webasto on google and you can get an idea of what these things look like if you don't know.

Any thing long term to report about this. A big rag top is on my list of things to do. I'd love to know if you have had problems with that top or not.

Just a head's up, I don't know which model, but Webasco had to buy back some xBs because they were no longer structurally sound once the ragtop was installed. The xBs were deemed unsafe. This was when the xBs were first released, and they may have improved the ragtop.

the wind noise is not to bad it was less befor i put the wind deflector on .the only reason i putit on was becuse some people said that with out one at high speeds in hard rain the front edge would leek so i got one just so i would not have to worry
