the side windows - thats why you use 996 windows.
storing the targa top - it will fit where the soft too usually sits. the front bar fits, a similar rear bar would fit, and the centre would be canvas and fold.

the 996 windows would mean no more soft top, similar to this ...

Thats a cool idea, I'll explore the posibilty of a canvas folding targa if the rigid targa proves too big for storaging in the car
