Hi,

Short time listener, first time caller.

I have a targa top, with windows in the top.

This top does not fit into my trunk, so if I'm tooling around with the top down - going fast is my only current option to prevent getting wet.

Are there any options for temporary tops? Other than a tarp?

Thanks,

Tom.

Ok stopped raining long enough to take few pics. This top is made so that the rear stays attached to the targa bar and can be rolled up to give you the open top feel off the 914.

First pic is the top rolled up.

Next two show the how the rear is built. It uses the rear part of the targa cut down to just past where the rear latches catch. He has a "clip" mounted tha will hook around the back side of the targa bar to help hold it in place.

Next pic shows it rolled out on top of a regular targa top.

Next pic shows the front. It uses the front half of a targa top just before where the latches mount. The middle has a handle mounted plus a bar that rotates out to give the center support when the top is closed.

Last pics show that a long spring is mounted between the front & rear sections along the side window which is sewn in the canvas top and has a flap that goes along the inside & out of the side to help keep rain out.
