  • Patent number: 5080428
    Abstract: A novel TARGA top assembly which is of a lightweight folding configuration adapted to be installed in the roof of a vehicle of the type having a rear roof portion and a forward roof portion. The TARGA top assembly of the present invention comprises a pair of fiberglass, contour-shaped panels having a ridge along the periphery thereof and being shaped to conform to the accessible region between the forward and rear roof portions of the vehicle. A fabric-type covering similar to those fabrics used for vinyl or convertible vehicle tops may be used on the exterior surface of the roof assembly of the present invention, primarily for aesthetic appearance purposes but also to prevent the spaced region between the two panels from admitting any rain or air during vehicle operation.
