Im still confused on how to get into the trunk? I mean if you go out somewhere and decide to pick something up unexpectedly can you just open the rear section and then open the trunk in a parking lot or do you need to have tools and remove the entire rear section?
the rear section is held on by two pins, it can be done in a parking lot but it takes two people to remove if you don't want to damage it. the pins just come out, no tools needed.

Mine squeaks like a mofo. Does yours?
No, not anymore. It did at first, but after some strategicly placed thin foam between the main section and rear section it went away. Every once in a while when I pull into a driveway sideways for example and the body flexes, it will do it.

This is the pin.
Thanks for the info and pic. Looks like I may have to step away from going with this top. My S2 is my daily driver and I am constantly in and out of my trunk with my tools so even though I think this is the sexiest top that fact that there isn't like a hinge setup or anything means its probably a no go for me.
this top is not daily driver friendly since ive had the top for almost a year now i can count on one hand how many times i have opened my trunk its a hassle, but i love the look of it

Oh yeah personally it is the best looking top by far when having the sides painted black or going with Shine's side windows but I have still not seen one in person. I would love to have a look at one in person to see if there is any way that the rear could have a shock and hinge setup added to it to allow some use of the rear.
If you could just manage to raise it like in this pic you would be fine.
