Default Dual top - dumb question

Does the 2-roof package come with some sort of storage cover/bag for the spare top?

There are no dumb questions here.

When I bought mine (third owner) it had two tops but there was no bag for the other top. I have since bought one so I could store the one that I am not using somewhere else besides in the back.

Happy Holidays!

From the factory the 2nd top did NOT come with any type of bag or cover.

First of all, no dumb questions.
Second of all, this is a good question.
I guess the answer is no, but it should be a yes.
My T-tops from way back when came with storage bags, why wouldn't a second top come with one, especially seeing how much they charge for the two top feature!

My '90 300ZX came with some slick t-top storage bags and a retaining strap system in the back of the car. My second C5 top came with nothing so I bought this storage bag and racks from a couple of forum members.

Did you make the brackets to mount the wheels on the wall, or did you just buy them somewhere?

I made mine. I have drawings of the parts and might be able to scratch up the purchased componets list. I also have some pics I can post later.

No, but you can buy them from vendors like Mid-America or Ecklers.

My 82 Corvette has bags for the t-tops also. Probably to prevent damage because of the way they were strapped down in the back.

Since the Targa top has a dedicated mount in the back I guess GM felt no there is no need to provide a storage bag for the one top but I agree that when ordering the dual tops a bag should be included. I had to buy my own.
