I'm not going to let the potential issue steal my joy. This car is so much fun for a 60 year old truck-dude.

She's my sunny day only mistress anyway.
Keep her tucked in the barn.

Congrats... I am sure you will enjoy as much as we do!

The only setback is a broken top out of warranty but we will have an awesome option soon!

I figured that should get us more than just one teaser

don’t hold back now! Do we have anymore pics from a distance or from the inside looking out the back?

You should be giving me Rep points for all my hard effort

That is drop dead gorgeous, in my opinion.

They nailed it!

The smooth lines and angles are on point

I was persistent and proved to the manufacturer that our roadsters really needed a hard top option. The biggest selling point was letting them know how much it cost to replace the top if you are out of warranty.

Thank you all that showed interest in purchasing this top. Without you I could have not convinced the company to develop.

Damn, now I wish I had a vert.

Used Z convertible prices just shot up 10 to 20%! LOL

I always said the Vert has a very exclusive design (non-hatch) profile and now we can get rid of the lumps and bow lines!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I don't want to be a spoiler but .... how does this hard top fasten to the car?

The present soft top fastens at 5 points, two at the front header, one dead center on the rear most bow, and then one on each swing arm at each side just behind the doors.

I'm sure the new hard top will use the front two clamping points that the soft top uses, but how do they fasten the hard top at the other three points? And this top must have three more fastening points for it to stay attached to the car at speed, especially with the windows down, or it won't be there for long.
