Metal Or Soft Top Roof
There are many diffrent options on roofs but most of you are correct with the aluminum tops, they do rattle and do trap and radiate heat. They are even worse if you put a full windshield on the front...you need to have some airflow to keep cool.
We do carry a sunbrella type soft top that is canvas in a few color options or a black mesh that will breath very well. It is attached with Velcro so it is easy to remove and hose of if you are cleaning it. The mesh is a 90% so its alot like tinting your windows in your car or sunscreens on your home windows. It allows light to come through but not enough to feel like your on fire and it doesnt give you the closed in feeling like a metal roof would.
Putting some type of Rhino lining on your roof will allow for more heat to be reflected off the surface and keep it from feeling hot and the extra materal will provide a buffer for the rattle. The trouble with any roof is how to attach it to your cage...most people use Zuse Fasteners wich are easy to put on and are quick to release but they do rattle if you are not using some sort of pad between the metal sheets and the cage.
Once again, if you are racing around on a track or course that has objects that will come through the soft material you will need somthing to keep that from happening...if you are just crusing the dunes...well ...keeping the sun out is more important.
