Default Targa Top Storage Bag?

Does any body use one of the fleece lined vinyl bags that the vendors sell for storing your top in the back of your car. If so how are they? I usually use a towel but my daughter wants to get me a christmas present and thats just about in her range.

I have one and it works great. When not in use, I keep it folded in my center storage bin, and when in use, it prevents any accidental scratching to the glass top. Highly recommend.

I use one. Very nice way to store and protect the panel. Well worth it to have one.

My daughter bought me one for Christmas a few years ago. It is a lot better than the blanket I used to cover the top with. I am very happy with it.

I have an extra one. I would be willing to sell your daughter. I paid $43 or 45 dollars for it. I would let it go for her sence it is Christmas for 30 dollars + shipping. I think that is only going to be about $5. If it is more I will take care of it. If you want it e-mail me at msands09@comcast.net. It is brand new. Still in the box and plastic from Mid-America.

I had one for the extra C4 top and it was great to store the extra top in. I donated it to the buyer when I sold the 96.

Now I must het one for the C5.

I'll take it if he doesn't want it and it's for a C5 targa top.

It's yours if the other guy does not want it. Or does not reply to my message.

I had one when I had my '99. Works very well and keep the top scratch and dust free.

The first time you scratch that top, you'll wish you had it. It's money well spent!

I have one and it is great - good fit, even has holes so you can lock the top in the bag down in the back of the car

I never store the top in the back without the cover on it. It only takes about 30 extra seconds, and if I didn't, I'm sure I'd scratch it somehow. Locks down real well.
