I say that every morning, I tell ya.   
Coming back to the speedster humps and tops. 
Absolutely no problem keeping the top down for months...seems to preserve it even.
 
Now my problem: While getting the speedster humps ready...I noticed a crack in one of those black thingamagics (s. pic; plastic holder piece, no idea what it is called) 
Does anyone know, where to get new ones or have a part number?

Hi Bran,
 
I found this part number in the Tequip PET. The PET says only one needed but maybe it means one per side. Also found a newer part number (ending in 01 instead of 00) during my search.

Fantastic find, Fred! 
Thank you, you saved my day/summer   
 
It's a pretty bad crack.

			Wow! 
  
Fred, Max9 and P4f - your cars all look amazing.  Each set up a bit different and for different things, but each car absolutely capable of doing what the other does.
 
Your three cars are a representation of why I'm so addicted to owning, driving, working on and simply admiring these cars.  
 
Cheers to the three of you!

			Unfortunately nothing as exciting as what some of you lucky guys are doing with those beautiful cars.  I replaced the passenger side window regulator this weekend.  Oh well, at least I’m happy to be rid of the grinding noise and have my window drop back .

			The PO of my car put a fantastic audio system in including Kenwood Double din unit, amp, speakers, etc.  while I had the engine cover off doing some cleaning this morning, I noticed the old Bose base speakers behind my head were not plugged in.   
 
Wow, I thought it sounded good before.  Now it’s a whole new level!  The dealer must not have plugged it back in after the last air filter cha GE or something.
