So where are You at on this project ? I'm going the same route with the exception of all the fiberglass , But I get the jest of what your doing. I just picked me up a Club -Car golf cart roof for $ 75.00 & it's 70" long & 45" wide & I'm building a ladder frame,So I can get more center bracing in case of a heavy wet snow & angel bracing brackets for more support that I already had on hand & also I picked up my wiring harness with a rocker switch, 2 square leds lights for the rear & 2 circular leds lights for the front & a couple of extensions for the harness for $62.00 & I went with the longer roof to have more overhang forward & aft, So I'm all in at $137.00 & that will save me over $200.00 + on going this route over what the M-F dealer wanted or a brand new golf cart roof KAH-CHING!!!!! & I've seen a few other TBN members do the same install & they look just as good or better than a factory install. Hope You made out okay with the tropical depression! & I'd like to see where You're at on the install.

Did the Bondo and got 80 percent done this evening. Going to finish up in the morning. (work hasn't stopped and only been taking off Sundays and those days have been either with the family or at the property before all the rain)

Last weekend turned into a lot of flooded homes and businesses, I own a floor cleaning company and was doing water extractions and setting up flood equipment all week.

Hoping to spray it with bed liner tomorrow morning ( I'm not worried about smoothing out the Bondo perfectly) I'm ready to get this project done and installed

I guess You maid it okay thru the storm , & thanks for the reply I hope everything works out good for You & your install looking forward to seeing it, Oh I did find a radio for mine so when I'm finished I'm going to add up the cost & see what the difference is for a new canopy & what I put into my install, Stay safe & have fun & be safe doing it.

Raptor liner spray right now.

I don't care about making the Bondo smooth and level. Honestly should have just sprayed this over the cloth and it would have been better and just as hard with the hardener in it. Oh well.

I'm ready to get this over with and functional.

Definitely will need some extra supports to mount it

Any color but black which will make it like a convection oven underneath. remember, black retains heat, white reflects it.

I know. I can hit it with white paint on the top after it dries. This liner only comes in black

Hey it looks like your almost there do You have some help to lift it into place ? & as far as it being black that should not be a concern! Your still open 360 degrees around You & You'll have at a minimum 2 feet head clearance & Hell your in LA. & when it cools down in early winter You can start sanding again if You want.My grand total came out to $346.00 & that is about the same price as a M-F dealer for a plain canopy & a little cheaper than a plain brand new canopy from a golf cart .So I think going this route was worth it because I got a wiring harness ,2 wiring extensions,4 led lights, antenna, AM-FM /weather radio & a canopy& a good investment IMHO & not just a plain canopy.

I'll stick with my 'Tough Top'. Besides it matches my OS M9 in color perfectly.

All that work and I have this.......

Looks to be flimsy plastic I would purchase steel canopy over plastic for the long haul..Iron bull makes a nice steel canopy
