You will need to keep one roof in place until you get home, and then store it. After that, you can take a roof off and put it in the trunk for open air driving.

do what I did....same problem......I roled down the windows, took off the roof, with no place to put it, I just hung it off of the driver's side view mirror with some zip-ties...man I love zip ties, they tie with duct tape as the fix-all for any problem!!

I'm ordering mine with dual tops, I'll probably ship one home so i can ride with the top off. I was thinking about putting it length wise under the fixed top in the back but forum members are saying it wont fit. SO if it doesnt fit you must ship!
