The price isn't that appealing, but from a form and function perspective ... I like the idea of leaving my targa top at home for semi-local drives and only needing a "near zero" weight temporary top in my trunk in case it rains when I'm parked.
Does anybody have one of these? https://www.stoddard.com/sic-sst-914-tempor...-targa-top.html I know there's a DIY bungee cord and tent cover option someone is selling for cheaper - many have sang its praise. But this appears to be a more modern option, but at 2x the price. Trying to weigh my options. |

Looking at these, and I would call them a solution in search of a problem.
It is too easy to install and remove the factory top in the rear trunk to warrant purchasing one of these. Just my $.02 Clay |

QUOTE(ClayPerrine @ Aug 20 2021, 11:51 AM)  Looking at these, and I would call them a solution in search of a problem. It is too easy to install and remove the factory top in the rear trunk to warrant purchasing one of these. Just my $.02 Clay I hear you ... but it would be nice to have an empty front AND rear trunk when out running errands. The rear trunk is so much roomier when the targa top isn't in there. Plus less weight. But most of all ... where I live in the mid Atlantic ... pop up showers happen all the time in the spring, summer, and fall. It's just so much quicker to throw one of these temp tops on vs. trying to put a targa top on after it starts raining (pop the trunk, remove the targa top from trunk, hover over top of car and align top, jump inside and get all for latches aligned and closed ... by that point the inside of the car is wet). |
