LOL, very few of my friends have actually seen my top...only goes up if caught in a shower! but ,yes I DO have a top...here its parked in the garage after a cruis when that happened, as you can see , theres dirt on my rear quarters from driving in the rain (doesnt happen often ,but it does happen)

my friend Andys...its weird...he HAD a rear window glass first ,but even after replaced it sticks up...his boot is custom, is stiched to the top and snaps onto the molding with similar snaps as on the sides where the mechanism disappears...

but the "average" between our tops is probably close to "standard" ...lol

but again , thicker top material will make it take more space...when I had mine installed , my upholstery guy suggested thinner vs thicker ,for it to take less space...afterall, he said, you are not up in the north with cold and snow...maybe thats whay mine takes less room?
