Hardtop Question

[Brucelee]

BTW-How heavy is that hardtop? Do you need a pully and winch or is this a two man job?

Its not so heavy, but it is awkward. Its too wide for you to hold it, and there is simply no way to take it off without 2 people unless you have the winch. I've had it on the car since I bought it so I've not had to store it yet. I'm thinking of building a rack out of plumbing pipe and insulation foam (pipe foam) for the areas that the hardtop will sit on.

If I had to guess, I would think that its between 60-70 lbs.

yes i know someone who build a rack out of copper tube.
you can get a porsche rack and its not that much... it also comes complete with a porsche boxster hardtop cover with a color crest on.

[JonnyBGood]

Yeah, but I think I want to mount it to the wall in my garage so It won't be sitting on the floor. I've got a small garage and every bit of space counts. The Porsche rack looks good no doubt. I just can't see it being that hard to replicate and I've got to fiture out how to attach it to the studs in the wall.

The trim cover is 986 563 551 00.

Thanks for info. I am glad I live in a climate where the top is not essential!

I would not have your wife help you lift it my wife dropped mine on the back of my car and the guide pin put a real nice dent in my trunk. She then started crying because she knows that I can't be mad when tears are running down her face
