HOW DOES EVERY ONE FEEL ABOUT RAGTOPS? I WANT TO GET ONE BUT I WAS WONDERING WHAT EVRYBODY THINKS OF THEM. MY CAR IS GONNA BE A DAILY DRIVER. DO THEY LEAK? SAG? ANYTHING TO LOOK FOR? ALSO WHO ALL MAKES THEM? ALL I'VE FOUND IS STREETBEAT.THANKS

i have an inalfa slidding rag. i love it! ive heard alot of people with the streetbeat ones talk bout how hard they are to close but the only issue ive had... which is a weird one is that when rollin at interstate speeds mine actualy likes to close by itself. but other than that no leaks no problems!

I had a Streetbeat in my 720 and it never had a problem with leaks except when directly sprayed under at the car wash. We did take the adhesive that they send with it and tossed it. Instead we used another type...I believe it was windsheild adhesive. It keeps the frame of the rag from flexing which causes the leaks. I have never heard anything bad about Inalfa or Britax though.

I think there has been several threads on this topic. I think the majority of people say they dont like them or have complaints about them. I am putting a 7ft one in my wagon......but it gets drove about once every 2 or 3 weeks.

i think as long as you take your time and do it right u can take care of the leaking issue in itself.

i had one on my old wagon and it was great, no leaks if you install it right. i also tossed the crap they give you and used windshield adhesive, at least i think thats what it was. just make sure it closes tight and you shouldnt have a problem. ive been tossing around the idea of getting one for my truck now but not %100 sure yet
