T-Top Suitcase
Has anyone purchased and used one of these T-Top suitcases. Does it protect well. Any issues with them?

I have nice dated bags that I didn't want to use because it's kind of a tight fit and it takes very little to put fine scratches in the clear, so yes, I have it and I use it. I actually think my tops have some scratches from the suitcase too. You just have to be careful how you pack the tops in the suitcase so you don't have a latch with a chance to touch the paint on the other one. An extra blanket would work. It's a little heavy and awkward to get it in the storage area if you have shoulder belts but it fits nicely and the tie down strap still works. When I take the tops out I'll either lay the case on the ground or even on the rear deck. Usually have to adjust the tops a little to get the zipper around the last corner but all in all I would never get to drive home from work with the tops out if I didn't have the case.

I have the same kind and agree with the previous comments. Take my tops off early summer and don't put them back on till late Sept. when it starts getting cool and don't run in the rain, but always have them with me just in case, so don't take them in /out of the case very much.

I had that case and it worked well. The only issue is the center divider is loose so you have to be careful when you pull them in and out.
