can you remove the roof flap if its too warm?

No. In fact I wish u could because there's a metal brace around the front part to help hold it open that makes the top part a little heavy. My bed's opening isn't very wide at all and the heaviness of the bar scares my dog when it lays on him. Maybe if your dog is bigger than a chihuahua it won't be an issue but mine (a chihuahua and bulldog) both refuse to go near it. If I could take off the top I might could at least use it as a pillow bed for them.

Puts out most of the heat straight up kind off needs a roof to contain the heat

Outside is cool to the touch, except for the window at top. That gets hot enough that you don't want to touch it.

Yes, we put a kinda flashing roof over it. If it's going under 30 degrees you take a plug out.

Yes, but you don't want to push down onto the wires. I tend to rake most of the snow, leaving about 2 inches of snow on the roof. Obviously you have to be careful or you can pull the wires out of the roof.

Yes, only problem I have is that the roof doesn't hold up to snow...it sags and snow accumulates and then drips when it melts. I'm trying to devise a way to make it stronger. Any ideas?

You can on low heat settings and don't leave it on there. Otherwise you'll melt it.

We had a lot of snow here in Upstate NY in the winter of '13/'14. I didn't have any worries about the snow accumulation on the roof. The fabric gets pulled pretty tight against the frame and allowed any accumulation over and inch to slide right off.

If it is packed full it isn't bad at all. If it is just half full then it flaps around. You have to be more careful strapping it to the roof when there's loose material to flap around.

Yes, you could remove the side bars & roof. They are bolted together when you assemble the car. Looking at the car I suppose you could take the grey bar & blue roof off. The see through top is the cute part.

I'd like to think you can. But please don't take my word for it because I wouldn't want any one chemical to affect that classic's roof! Please be on safe side and contact their customer service. Hope it turns well for you!

Yes, you can remove the top but I believe the entire thing is supposed to be dismantled and taken in for the winter, especially if you want it to last. I don't think it is designed to stay outside in the cold.

Leave the flap open when you screw on the lid so it doesn't build up air pressure.

Yes. You have to remove a protective screen (just a few screws), but tempature can be adjusted.

You can remove the front flap AND the top insert (latter takes a bit of muscle). My cats don't like being confined.

Yes - the roof just lifts off easily - it is just resting on top of the structure. The plexiglass is removable - it just slides into grooves on the side so it is not fastened to the main base unit in any way so you can easily pull them out.

Personally I would. The reason being that it is normally or should be above the roof. So to be safe I would remove it in a car wash.
