hi guys...

i have following question: if i fit a hardtop (with around 20kg i read) and put out the oem soft-top with all servomotors and so on, how much weight would it safe?

kind regards

mike

 

i believe mine weighed about 75 lbs with all the brackets/motors included. you can do the unit conversion.

 

what do you mean with "unit conversion"?

 

cuz you were speaking in kilograms. i was talkin pounds.. i dont know where you live, im just saying if your used to kilograms, do the conversion of the weights. since the US is one of only few who use the idiot british units

 

1kg = 2.2 lbs

 

oh - sry, sure

i am from austria (near germany)

yes, i know the the conversion of the weights - thx

 

wow 75 pounds would definitely make it worth removing..i've got a hardtop and i've been meaning to remove the soft top, anyone who's done it can give an estimate on how much time it takes?

 

75 is generous. unless the AP1 and AP2 soft tops and motors weigh different amounts. Ap1=65lbs or 30kg

 

well thats what my scale told me. i wouldnt lie/exaggerate. that is counting the motors, as well as the brackets and other stuff removed. and it takes a while to do, even with the service manual, but it is definitely worth the weight saving if you run the hardtop only. it also helps free up some cabin space to put stuff where the top used to be folded down.

 

well, if yours is plastic window then that alone is a good amount of weight difference between glass and plastic. Also, there is an extra beam on the glass soft top.
