Lighthawk, I guess my question for you then would be...Lighthawk said:We just completed our arctic pac, basically following the directions of Ski3pin. It worked great tested to 23F on our Christmas trip. We're going to add extra velco to hold down the corners near the front and rear lift panels. Ski and I talked about it and they are going to do something similar. The current design puts too much pull on the last nine or ten inches of velcro beyond the edge of the window and it needs to be anchored with an extra bit of velcro. We spent ~$175USD for the velcro and Evolution cloth vs. the $475 quote mentioned above for factory option.
Are you glad you built the thermal pack from the standpoint that it is better than the factory option... or is it just cheaper.
I will likely keep it on year round, so I want it to fold up nice when I lower the top.
BTW
23F = -5C That will be our average daytime high in Feb->March.
Right now it's 3F (which is pretty nice) seeing it should be a bit colder.
