Default Alternatives for TTops??

My wife would like to drive the C3 to work on occasion (on nice days) but she and I neither one want to haul around the TTOPs, they're heavy and a pain for her to put on. I've seen several alternatives in Ecklers, MidAM, etc... Read a few threads about the astro top and the raincoat. I guess it would be nice to have one that you coud use while driving but our most important goal is to cover it while parked during the day, protect from sun and rain, and easily remove and store the top(s) for driving. All experiences, advice appreciated.

I prefer the Astro-Top to the t-tops. It is advertised that one can store the Astro behind the seats, but I have never tried it(usually just leave it at home). Hope this helps out

luckily i found a set of the folding canvas t-tops that were discontinued in the 80's i believe...... each t-top folds in half and fits in a storage bag....... i still havent used them yet but i'm sure they will come in handy when i do cruise around......
