Not exactly sure but you do have to drill many, many holes in the body. Also, running with the hardtop is like being in an empty dumpster with a lawnmower at full throttle. Very loud.

hey, maybe you can install one of those gas fired heaters that fits between the front seats. they have a tube that goes out the top at the rear above the window. then you will truly be set for cold weather.
