After you put the top up a time or two, it becomes second nature and no big deal. Once you realize that the door must be opened with the key fob if the engine is running...second nature. If the guy wanted all the bells and whistles, he could get a BMW Z4 for $40,000. The top goes up and down with the press of a button. Once you master the nature of the Sky, it is a pleasure to drive.

I agree If I wanted all the bells and whistles I would of bought a crossfire. But not for 40,000. Our 1992 Viper is primitive enough. The top is folded in the back trunk actually thats the only way it fits in. It actually takes two people to un fold it and mount it on the car. The windows, (AREN'T) they are slide in plastic zip thingy's. After you slide them in the door, then you would have to screw them in to secure But we LOVE the car! ITS PRIMITIVE BUT ITS VIN # 142 out of 200, and my husbands BABY!! along with the 96 coupe which has been modified quite a bit! I don't like to drive it, and I like fast cars.
But I also Love the styling and handling of the "Sky". Bob L. u did wonders!
