Hard Top Comes Off Today ..Anyone else?
 
First time I have pulled my top off since purchase. Going to install a Softopper. Wish me luck and pray for little to no rust for me. PO had the K5 for 5 years and never removed the top...Sacrilege!

Well It's off...I finally know why I bought it. Of course it's cloudy with a chance of rain...Try and install the Softopper tomorrow.

Anyone interested in my hardtop?..Don't think it's going back on.

Damb that serious. You should keep it a little longer. They are hard to come by. My advise is keep it for the cold season. You never know. Just my two cents..

I took the top off, that damn thing sat in my back yard for years! Sell it, you could get about $450 to 55o for it. Rains about 30 days out of the year in so cal anyways.

Yanked mine last week and built this rack Sunday to get the top out of the way.

Drove it Friday night and enjoyed lots of crap in my eyes even though I vacuumed it out real good :lol:

Been topless for awhile. AZ warmth makes it easy to take it off for the majority of the year.

Top came off this evening. We've got at least 4 days of rain free time here so I took the top off tonight and will put the soft-top on over the next few days. Just got back from the Ice cream place for the first convertible cruise.

Re: Hard Top Comes Off Today ..Anyone else?
 
Don't remember the last time it was on! Wife said ( then ) she loves the top off, now when she rides in it " it blows my hair all over " I have two choices;
1. wrong sometimes
2. wrong all the time

I can still go for a ride in my Blazer with my dog, and SHE likes it.

Nice! Also took my top off yesterday. I ALWAYS put the top back on in the winter for cold driving. Same exterior color, same wheels, as mine, but I have a black top. And I can never resist a nice Romeo Y Julieta Habana! :smoke:

Top came off yesterday...it's my son's daily driver, he insisted. Immediately had to drive to town to umpire some rec games, didn't get home until 9:30 and froze his tookus off.

Looking like rain this morning, but off he went to school with no provision for covering anything up. Youth is definitely wasted on the young!

I promised the top to a fellow member here.... thought I'd post this as I have been getting a lot of PM's from people. If it falls through I'll let everyone here know in a post. It's a double wall top, aftermarket sliders, complete, no sags etc. Thanks for all the tips...keep posting!....Thanks...E

I might have to come check it out when I am down there next month.

On another note it is raining in Seattle. I doubt my top will be off before july.

wow thats a nice top. like the slider windows too... how much you parting with it for?

Re: Hard Top Comes Off Today ..Anyone else?
 
I took mine off in 2001, and it has never been back on. It's been on a rack out in the weather since it was removed. The rubber is shot and the hinges on the hatch have rusted and the finish is chalking. I wish I would have been able to store it. The top was in perfect condition when I removed it. Now if I ever want to sell it or put it back on I'm goning to have to recondition it. If you have a place to store it, I would keep it. Think about resale. Future owner may want it.

How'd the soft topper install go? Are you happy with the top overall?

Instructions a bit poorly written. The top fits great and is adjustable so fine tuning required when it stretches out. The bed mounted bar was for a single wall top (so double wall tops need to be redrilled.) But so far so good. Didn't get scorched yesterday while out. It's nice not having the sun beat down on ya. Now I have to make a bikini top.
