I'm thinking the same thing now that I just changed over.

You can also build an electric one yourself for $100 and some change with a Harbor Freight electric hoist.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

17's with Vredesteins installed, winter mats, and hard top. Ready for the snow. Except can't get drivers side bolt to lock. Any thought?
And handling is amazing. What a difference new shoes make. Was running worn out Hankooks on 18's. Car was squirmy and rough. Now drives like a dream. May stick with the 17's come spring.
Maybe the hardtop has a "bolt" to "lock" into place? Like a rifle bolt locks, I don't have a cabrio or a hardtop so no idea how it attaches but that's how I read it at first glance.
Highly recommended. I was fortunate to find one on Craigslist last year. Makes the car quieter and more comfortable in the cold, as the hard top definitely holds in heat better than the soft top. Seems to add rigidity as well.
It seems like a great option. My only issue is that we can get "top down" weather in almost any month. I would hate to miss an opportunity to cruise with the top down in early February because I had a hard top installed...
My neighbor has a large Jeep with a hardtop, he rigged up a pulley over the Jeep's spot in the garage and can now install/remove the top within a few minutes just by himself. Should be even easier with the 911 hardtop. Just gotta keep a very firm hand on the controls, an accidental drop onto your car would be more painful that the extra "character" it would add to his Jeep.
Good luck finding a used top in Macadamia Brown though!
Plenty of hoist systems for P-car hardtops if you want to change it from an easy two-person job into an easy one person job and have the top take up less space in the garage.
e.g.
www.hoistlifts.com
, manual lift for ~$120+ and electric for ~$240. Would be worth it to me to not having to pester the wife to help with car tasks... Probably less than five minutes to take it off if you get a nice set of days?
You can also build an electric one yourself for $100 and some change with a Harbor Freight electric hoist.
how does one remove the hard top? I looked in my owners manual and there was no mention of it. The car does look real nice with the hardtop on.
Dennis, you should definitely get it.
If you decide to buy, spend some time searching using searchtempest and the like. I have bought two for about 350 each in the correct colors. Regardless of what is asked, these things move slow. Don,t overspend.
Winter Park also opens this weekend.
Very little natural snow so far. The early season 90%+ manmade snow runs and particular the typical single run that connects to the base are jokingly known as
'The ribbon of death'
around here, due to their nature of quickly turning into ice and being a choke point for skiers, especially on weekends...
Still, fun to get a bit of really early season skiing in!
