Default Roof panels

Does anyone know if the single and/or double roof panels will fit in the cargo area, or do they have to be left in the garage?

Roof panel fits directly in the rear hatch, and has both guides and pockets for stowage.

It's light enough (carbon) to be taken off and stored by a single person (I'm 6'2, 170 so not huge). Harder to get back on (cumbersome, rather), but not a biggie.

As Theta mentioned, there is a mount in the hatch area for the roof but not for two. If you have the dual roof option, one will need to be stored in the garage.

I'd suggest if this is new to you that you practice removing and installing the panel. It is not difficult but you need to develop a routine.

NOTE Most important...... when you install do something to make you double check the latches are LATCHED!!!.... Take you key fob put it on the outside windshied......... leave your sun visors to the side......... take a floor mat put it on the ground..... anything that insures that those latches are latched!!!!

Put your visors down when you do it - reminds me every time.
