Default Removable Hard Top

Does anyone know how much the standard body colored removable hard top weighs?

No it's not heavy. I find it awkward to handle. After seeing it going on an off easily by some people. I have concluded I am awkward and need more practice😕

Weight is not the issue...for many of us. They are, as noted, rather awkward and have been since the C5s, imho.

Meh. Awkward for some, I guess.

Heavy and awkward enough that I didn't think my wife would ever remove it, so I went with the HTC.

If anything like the C7 targa top, it is not heavy but I agree it takes a little practice to ensure you properly remove and install the top to avoid damage to either the top or the car.
