Been searching for exactly the same thing for ours, found some pictures of poptops with them fitted but think I'll have to get one fabricated, unless anyone on here knows any different

Should'nt be a problem with the gas struts if roof rack is empty when roof popped up.....my old girl has new struts so should be ok if only i found where to get one from
