My thought is: There might be times when you want to drive your car with the top off and also have your roof with you in case you need it, but your rear trunk is full and you have no room for the the top.

Example: A trip to the golf course with a buddy. Two sets of clubs will take all the room in the rear trunk and they won't fit in the front. Who knows what the weather will do in the 5-6 hours it takes to play a round.

Idea: A soft top with a colapsable frame (or not) that fits into the existing tracks and clips already on a 914 and will fit in the front trunk when not in use. Ideally the design should be strong enough to allow you to drive the car at highway speeds without getting totally drenched.

For me, this would be a useful option for golf trips and cottage weekends when my luggage space would be put to better use than hauling around a roof that may, or may not, get used. Has anyone already done this? If not, I might try to come up with something myself.
