So today I just picked up a used oem roof, wasn't planning on it but saw one for a super good price so I had too. Its sitting on my car right now with the front clamps but I need to drive it on the highway tomorrow to the autoshop to be repainted, wondering if anyone has suggestions for securing the rear until I get teh installation kit installed and if it can cause any damages with it right now sitting on the car without the installation kit? thanks a bunch.

 

Out of curiosity, why don't you wait until you get the installation kit before painting it if you have to transport the top with your S for paint?

 

Same shop was is gonna do the installation kit for me, anyways not really a problems anymore since I tied it down this morning with some rope and its already there.

 

Bad idea.

 

let me know what the police say when it flies off and causes a huge accident

 

 

haha GJ!

ive done it be4 but just take it easy on the turns. also zip tie that bad boy on there...

i also had someone buy the hardtop from me and he drove it home to arizona without any hitch...

 

You'll be alright, I've loan my hardtop to locals before. They have no rear hardware and drove on the highway back home just fine. The only thing I have to say is to lubricate the rear seals, so you don't destroy your seals from no strikers support on the rear. I learn the hard way, my hardtop was scraping on the black hard rubber seal connected on the rear of our s2ks.
