Just my opinion, and depending on your personal definition of “classic”, but I think the 986 will certainly be considered a classic at some point. However not all will make it to that honored place....

I replaced my top a couple of years ago with the glass panel and it was definitely more “full” under the clamshell but it still closed. Even now the motor seems to work a little harder to close but...

Sorry if I'm not understanding your question completely but when I replaced my top with a glass window version it will definitely not raise up as far as the plastic window. This does limit access...

Just a question...

So exactly why did you guys choose to go with a ceramic? Good quality waxes (provided the paint is reasonably unmarred) look fantastic once finished. Granted they will not last as long but there is...

I "water" proof mine about once every year to year and a half, but not to renew water repellency but rather to enhance UV protection. I think it helps keep it looking darker longer. I too have...

I reuse mine and no problems. I dont' think the metal clamps have as much danger of losing their force as the rubber tubes becoming brittle or splitting and causing leaks. When you do replace the...

I too have replaced the top on mine and it really is not as hard as it is made out to be. That was two years ago and it still looks great and I get compliments on how tight and wrinkle free it is.
