Default AP1 OEM Hardtop.

Does anyone have the OEM hardtop fitted? Any tips, advice... I'm thinking of getting one for my AP1.

Also, if there is a pic out there of one on a Silverstone S2000?

The hardtop is the same for both AP1 and AP2 models. The hardware is slightly different.




Advice - it's a wonderful thing to have, it makes driving a tiny bit quieter, but not really by much. It does look a lot better (in my opinion) than with the soft top up. Be sure to buy some shin-etsu grease if you buy and smear it on the rubber seals all around to cut down on squeaking and rattling.

Thanks.

Do you have to remove the soft-top? Or does it go on top of it?

I'm looking for one for winter use.

The OEM HT is a beautiful product, well made, and really changes the personality of the car.

BTW- Looks better in yellow than silver

which hardware is different? I always see tops for only the 02+ models. I dont need a defroster. Is the defroster the only difference between the 00-01 and 02-03 models?
I think MY01 needs new strikers in the front.
