Search the archives. Most people seem to not like it too much.

Fit's in the back, how? When I put my tops in the back, they overlap. I'd like to see some pictures of that.

They fit in the back, up on top of the wheel wells. I like mine. However, I can't argue with anything negative that's been said about them. I mainly like the black "glass" look on the red car. You can see the hardware thru the top somewhat. The gap at the back isn't consistant and they (mine) don't seal at the side windows well. But I bought both mine for $200. each in like new condition. If I had paid close to $600. I wouldn't be so happy. They are what they are, "plexi-glass" type tops.

NO wrench required on mine. There is an Astro Top one and two.
Not sure what the difference is.

Default Folding T tops???

G'day,
I have seen over the years, ads for folding T tops, possibly made of canvas, that take up very little space when folded up, but allegedly are quick to fit if the weather turns bad. Supposedly water tight, they sound good if true. Anyone have any experience with them??

Regards from Down Under
