Default targa top sliders??

I was just flipping through this magazine and came across these...

Sounds like a neat idea, but is it worth $70? Probably wouldn't spend my money on them, but just thought I'd see if anyone does use them for a little ease when cruisin.

They might be handy for someone with back problems but I just lean against the back of the Vette and lower the top in. Then I pick it up and slide it into the holders.

I installed these on my 95 shortly after buying the car. They are very handy as it greatly reduces the amount of bending you have to do to put the top inside the cargo space (my back goes out--particularly if I am holding something and lean forward). It is also quite obviousl that these "rails" should cost no more than about $40 but, then again, you have to pay a premium for a specialty item like this that is made for a limited application.
