Default T-top suitcase

Hey guys,

I have been toying with the idea on buying this bag. Before I do, I was curious if anyone on here has done so already and how they like it? Does it protect the tops very well? Any issues with the spacer not providing enough cushion between the two tops? Is packing up and unpacking the t-tops more convenient than the bags?

Thanks.

I had one for my 82. It did the job it was designed to do. I prefer the factory bags, though.

I have one for 82 as well. Not as rigid as you'd think from picture...you are not going to carry them around by hand like a suit case, rather they just lay flat in the back compartment...more protection!

I have a vendor purchased T-top bag like the one from Willcox and will let it go for $50....and you pay shipping from 19901......or since you are from Md perhaps we could do an on the side of the road exchange......depending on where you reside....

It was only used twice and I do have several pix of the bag.....if your interested....
