Unlikely since '09 is 'supposed' to be final year of Solara production.

Cheers

Unfortunately Toyota has/will discontinue the Solara Convertible also due to low sales.

The only Hard Top in any of the Toyota Brands [that is well affordable compared to the SC] would be the Lexus IS Convertible Hard Top

Wasn't the last year for the Solara the 2008?

The more I look at that new Lexus I can see that it appears to be a modified Solara.

Toyota had said that 2009 was going to be the last year for the convertible Solara. HOWEVER, it appears that they have not produced any '09s. So the best guess is that the Solara production is dead.

Hopefully, Mazda will come out with the Mazda 6 convertible next year so that the Sebring has some competition.

Good luck getting a Solara hardtop vert. I want one as well. Im talkin to some fab guys here in Waco to see if its possible to convert it to a hardtop vert. The only hold up right now is that my sunroof glass blew out.


The other problem is gona be that I will loose atleast 90% of my trunk space. I want the hardtop to look as if its not a vert. The whole hardtop vert project has been put on hold till I fix my lower intake leak and my timing belt is a little worn down.

Good Luck though!!!!!!!
