I had a hardtop or sunshade made for the cockpit of my F32. I love it. It came from Atlantic Towers in New Jersey.

There was a thread a while back on putting a hard top on a F26 or a F25 . I have a custom top on my F36 . If I can find the thread I will post a link .

Mel "Molly Too" made a hardtop and used his bimini frame to support it. Looks awesome. I think he even hung curtains from it. But that's on a F32.
