Making my own t-top shades, need some info
Well summers just about here, time to make some t-top shades and protect my interior, but i want to have these planned out. i want them to look good enough to leave on all the time.
I would like to see some pictures of a set installed on a t-top in and out of the car, and i would really appreciate it if you can even get some measurments
pictures soon to come! need to find the sewing machine...

Re: Making my own t-top shades, need some info
Rather than rely on somebody elses measurements, why not use a piece of cardboard and template your own? That way they'll be exactly as you want them. There's not much to these shades, so making your own template and making the subsequent panels should be a piece of cake. The only difficulty may be in how you cover cover them. Unless you're good with a sewing machine, you'll probably just have to wrap the material around the edges or cut it flush at the edges.
Here are a couple pics from my headliner installation article:
