Kicking around ideas and trying to see if it would be feasible to add a bubble and rails to an existing open cockpit configuration? It would be nice to have the option to easily convert to OC in the summer so keeping the existing windscreen would be ideal. The challenge would be cutting the sliding bubble to fit with the same profile and height where they'd meet.

If anyone has successfully done something similar I'd love to see some photos or hear any ideas
