I can still get into the engine bay easily, as standing back by the rear fenders you're leaning into the engine bay from a rearwards angle anyways. But taking the rear storage shelf out takes a bit more maneuvering.
There are other cheaper tops out there, but from the GAHH site, w/ glass is $820-$925 and w/ plastic is $725-$767, depending on the type of canvas you choose, Sonnendeck or German.
Is the website in your signature yours? Nice site. I'm interested in the stalk. I just have to
fix my P-codes first.
