The consensus seemed to be that for show cars and trucks that aren't gonna be out in the rain or driving at highway speeds they were fine, but otherwise they should be avoided. Take this with a grain of salt as I have no personal experience with Street Beat products. Just passing on some info I got from more then one pro in the business.

I'll back up this statement with knowing from personal expierence that while they have some good products and some people have had nothing but sucess with them i know to many friends who have been screwed b/c of them.

Ah, it's not my style. I guess some peeps would dig it, but if I want a rag top, the nBc would be the way to go for me.

Webasto makes a sliding glass top, similar in size the the ragtop they offer. You won't find it on thier website yet (at least I couldn't), it's still a fairly new product. But there is an accessory dealer in Tucson that offers them. Something like 4sq feet of glass with 50% of it on a track to slide back over top the rear glass. I was going to get this done, but got rear ended and have to shift my funds around.

I can't give an exact figure because it has been a few months, but it was around the $1800 mark. The name of the shop is "The option" located in Tucson Az. If you want here's their # for a quote (520) 624-5988.

I think that the best way to get 2 opening glass, is to put 2 sunroofs one in the front and one in the back. it would be hotness

Here's a thread that talks about the webasto, https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...hlight=webasto

It's the Hollindia 900 I think, not on their site, they only show the "ragtop" but if you call a dealer you should find it does exist. 4.5sq ft of glass and the front slides over the rear. There's a pic or two here https://www.scionlife.com/forums/pro...caeade3a881bb0

Someone had a really great pic from above on thier profile that was selling their Lava xB a while ago, I can't find it.
