Seems to me with the limited trunk space the hardtop would be a must for any than an overnight trip. Without the soft top in the trunk there would be enough room for some luggage (not much more). If I was to go out to a nice place that has valet parking I'd also want the hardtop on (who knows where they park your car after you give them the keys), not to mention the increase in security.DuSpinnst said:So who's going to drive the SKY year round? If you live in a cold state are you going to get the Hard Top Accessory (whenever it comes out)? For me, yes and yes. Soft Top in the winter does not sound good.
I don't think you can remove the softtop from the trunk. So space is still an issue, but added security is another reason to get it. When I go downtown I can always throw the Hard Top on and leave it parked without worry.eldeeko said:Seems to me with the limited trunk space the hardtop would be a must for any than an overnight trip.

Carbon Fiber, Fiber Glass, aluminum? It seems Fiber Glass would be the least expensive, then aluminum followed by carbon fiber. They are all lightweight and should be pretty easy to take on and off. (I would hope two people do it though, so as not to scratch the paint) A pulley setup in the garage or carport would be of great help, then one person could do it.need4speed said:would be cool if the hardtop is cf... heh!i like the have the option of going hard top or soft top...
That's the setup my mother has for her Miata. I laughed when I first saw it, but I've since used it. It's pretty awesome, and came in very handy before she started shacking up with the Colonel.eldeeko said:A pulley setup in the garage or carport would be of great help, then one person could do it.
Only one way around your dilemma! Rent or buy a two car garage, move out of the house, move into the garage! Think how secure your "Sky" would feel with you cuddled up next to her in your sleeping bag. (ah...love!)SkyMan 07 said:A removable hard top isn't even something I can consider, mainly because i would have no place to store it when it is off the car, I sure wouldn't let it sit in the yard, and I don't have a garage, and I don't think my wife would let me put it in the livingroom.... so I will just stick to the convertible top..
