I'd be all over that like white on rice. The targa top is too bulky for me, and I usually have to set it on top of my foot after removing it so I can reposition and get a better grip. As for putting the top back on, the windows have to be rolled up to for more contact surface, and usually involves a clumsy drop or plop of the targa top onto the car. I don't have the strength or arm extension needed to gently set it on the proper spot on top of the car. I've always wanted a painted top, but will never do it because I know I drop my top, or at least scrape up the sides on the parking lot.

Thanks for sharing Demick.

hey Jen after you unlock the targa top latches front and back and still sitting in the car try lifting the top up and rotating it 90 deg stetting on the windshield frame and the targa bar right over your head, then when you get out you can pick it up from the short side and go to the trunk with it. then i set it in the holders that way. maybe it'll work for you.
