Stowable Hard Top

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.
Regarding the SUV-
The small Fiat has a curtain top that slides along top like a roll top desk and stacks at bottom of rear hatch. I know Jeep has the roll open roof as well. What if Scout could make a glass/clear heavy duty roof panel system tha was like 6-8 accordion panels that click in/ pop out that could be unlatched an opened like a partial sunroof- maybe 3-4 panel fold back and a pin system locks them in place to serve as a sun roof. Or you accordion it all the way back, unpin it and set it into a secured spot it the frunk. Then as suggested earlier in another post the side windows all fully roll down and either hatch glass rolls down or pops out and also stores in the frunk. As said in another post, if we could get roof and hatch glass to fully open I don’t know that I’d need the roof to come off but I’d still have a VERY open feeling vehicle.
I think utilizing the frunk to store the panels is key so they aren’t sliding around in the rear and getting scratched up
The Hummer EV stores the panels in the frunk, and every review I have watched on that removal process gives it high marks. The unlatching of GM's system, and stacking capabilities in that frunk make the Hummer EV seem entirely topless in about 5 minutes.
