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.

It's a pretty bad crack.

Went for a fantastic track day at Alastaro Circuit Finland with Porche Racing Club Finland to collect myself approval for a track racing licence -> few races lined up for this summer 😎

Swapped in a used engine this weekend. Have some idling issues I posted about in a other thread, but excited to feel it move under its own power again.

Always wondered if there is any harm to never putting the top up. I have 2-3 times in the short 5 months I've owned mine but only if it looked like rain was a possibility.
