Best way to transport it is on your Box. Just go pick it up & have the owner help you install it. As O.J. say "if it doesn't fit you must quit".

That's hilarious, us California guys are completely out of touch with weather realities. School districts close for temps in the 20s. Highways are closed by wrecks if there is more than 1" of rain in a 24 hr period

I wonder if the top routes rain to the outside of the car or same as the soft top through the drains?


Speaking of rain, its been raining since Early Friday morning in CA and is supposed to go till Sunday. I didn't even think that was possible in SoCal.
It is a warm rain though and perhaps I should wash the Boxster in it as the tap water here is hard and requires towel drying to avoid water spots.

I drove the Box today but I think I'm going to have to Wrangler it the rest of the weekend.

Its good to have 2 cars of completely opposite Utility so you have something for every extreme

Oh oh....looks like the entire lower 48 except Texas/SoFL is going to feel this next storm

I love my hard top, especially in my cold, snowy climate! $1,000 is an excellent price. I paid $1,500 for a like-new hard top including all fitting hardware. It took me about an hour to install the spin locks. A somewhat fiddly job.

Love mine and look forward to using it when it gets as hot as hell here in Phoenix this summer. Getting the spin locks and bolts in is a PITA. Got all the windows tinted to match. Good luck trying to get a clean let alone a matching color top for less then $1,000. You then need to buy the spin locks and it's likely that the top is missing the three plastic pieces that are easily detached and lost. Don't forget that you need to store it so a stand and cover is nice to have.
