latte Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 I am searching for a soft top for my Latte these seem readily available in mainland europe but am struggling to find a UK source. The idea is to use the Pluriel in the rain when you are caught out far from home with the roof bars in the garage Quote
lupin Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 I don't quite understand what you mean by a soft top. Do you mean the plastic, waterproof "tonneau" cover which can be rapidly stretched across the top of the Pluriel in cabriolet mode to stop the interior getting wet? You'll find these quite frequently for sale on eBay (expect to pay about £50-60), but you should note that they are only for use on a stationary, parked car. They're also useful if you want to leave the roof down overnight (to avoid the hassle of taking the roof bars on and off), and are worried that it might rain. It's a clever design, and very easy to put on, but you can't drive with it. Try this link for example: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/citroen-pluriel-rain...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote
latte Posted September 22, 2006 Author Posted September 22, 2006 Sorry but I think I am double posting with the Technical section. My quest is for a full demountable convertible hood like any other convertible..escort, golf,audi. I am currently working on the fittings, rear detachable holders, central hoop supports and a front windscreen fitting using the overcentre toggle fastners on the front pillars. Quote
willie229 Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 :blink: So Latte how did you fare with your sft top design. Did you get it to work and how did you over come the bands to allow roof height. Would be intersted to know the outcome and if its what you imagined. Kind regards Quote

Would be intersted to know the outcome and if its what you imagined. Kind regards I have made the front rail and bought fittings for the centre two supports and made one of the rear brackets but have run out of enthusiasm for the moment. Also bent two hoops so we are nearly there on the steel work. The summer may goad me further but this would have been so much simpler if Citroen had done this in the first place Quote
