Default targa top problem!

when I go driving with my wife, she likes the top off but I can't put it in the hatchback. we have to bring my wife's wheelchair and they both don't fit.I saw the cabrella but it is only for parking! I need a soft top incase it rains for a long period of time so we can drive back home. anyone heard of a soft top for a C6 ? thanks for reading my problem!

nothing available that I have found.....I never got a carbrella because its just as easy for me to pop in the top.....although sounds like you are a good candidate for it froom the storage space stand point..... just have to pay attention to whether there is a big storm system brewing before you leave home....and if you don't already have a trans top....its a nice addition...with the windows down you do get somewhat of a topdown experience....

Here's a thought ESB, Many boats, cruisers and sail have what's called a dodger - for getting out of the rain or enclosing cockpits. They are universally custom made. They typically use a fabric called Sunbrella that holds up very well. If you have a marina nearby, I would head over there or look through the yellow pages (if anyone ever does that anymore) or even ask around. I'm sure they would be delighted to help you.

We have a http://www.capoptop.com/California Pop Top That is a water proof Item and fits in the small storage area in the rear of the hatch.

You cannot drive with it on but is a stop gap and goes on in about a minute. You would have a tendency for water to pool unless you had something for ribs to keep it from sagging also.

You may be able to go to a boat canvas shop and get something custom made.

Are there more compact folding wheelchairs that would be small and light enough to store along with the targa?
