Default Question about Targa Top

Hello,

I have an 2003 50th anni. coupe. When I bought it, there was no user manual or anything. Can anyone post some pics of how the targa top stores in the trunk?

Thanks!

Place the top in the trunk with the front of the top facing the rear of the car. The back of the top should fit into a couple of holders. There are two small latches that you should be able to lock the front of the top into the rear of the hatch to keep it from sliding around.

Remember to latch the top immediately when re-installing it onto the car.

I know this is off topic, but the vert trunk looks better and better after seeing this.
