Thanks, I should have used a square instead of eyeballing it, it's not completely square. But it was inexpensive, is overbuilt and does the job. The rope through the 2 eye hooks on the sides is probably overkill, but if someone slammed a door inside the house I wouldn't want the hard top to land on my Boxster!

I love the wall rack. I should do that with mine. That's the only thing I don't like about it, the lost floor space. And in my garage, that premium space!!

The only negative that I have heard was my mechanic did tell me that keeping the top down for extended periods was not a good idea. The reasons he gave were:
1. There is a mechanism in there that needs to be actuated to keep it from getting brittle (I don't know what the part is).
2. He mentioned that keeping is down will trap moisture (not a huge problem where I live (Az).

The only other thing I can add is that the tops have a tendency to squeak at the rubber seals. You may need to remove it or at least slight pull it off to wipe silicone spay on it. That seems to take care of the squeaking for about 3 weeks at a time. That could be because of my climate. DON'T SPRY IT ON!! Spray into a rag and wipe it onto the rubber seals.

Other than that have fun with it. Not too much, more better with the top down!! :dance:
