Hard Top Question

[docdyh]

how difficult to install and remove. Do you need sometype of hoist or can one person put on by self? Sorry, for changing the question.....

Installing or removing the hard top requires a hoist or another person not because of the weight but because of the bulkiness. I get my 13 year old son to help me place it on top then I do all of the latching.

To me the hard top gives the driver a choice of styling but I haven't really notice any difference in handling. I got the windows tinted mainly because of the hard top and the results are deffinitely a head turner.

I've been trying to get a hardtop for my Artic Silver for about 9 months, but the prices locally have been well above what I would like to pay. I've found some in the $750 range, but they are always more than 300 miles away. Do you think I'll have any better luck in the spring? If anyone sees anything please let me know.

My strategy has been to look on ebay, craigslist, search dealer lots, and reach out to people who are selling their cars with hardtops. In short, I've had no luck. As someone mentioned, cars with hardtops typically don't sell for more than ones without them, so I'm surprised few people consider outside straight cash offers for their hardtop. Anything else I should be doing, or should I just be patient?
