I have a yellow S and im thinking of getting a hardtop to eliminate some of the blind spots. Does a hardtop really eliminate that many blind spots??? And also, how much do they cost and whats the weight of a hardtop?

 

The only blind-spot that it eliminates is one over the right should to the back of the car. Since the side windows don't change is size there really isn't that big of a difference, though it is an improvement.

The bad blindspot, on the drivers left doesn't change at all.

The top weighs in at about 45#. It improves the blind spot only marginally. If you want to better take care of the blind spot look the FAQ section of S2Ki.com. There is a fix for the driver's side mirror. Or you can stick on a convex mirror on the outer part of the driver's mirror (not much of a looker but it works for me). If you go to the sponsor list at the bottom of this page and go to HandA, they've listed what is probably the best HT price you'll find and it includes install instructions.

what? who says it doesn't reduce the drivers (left) side blind spot? whoever says that must not know what a blindspot is. hpalmer, do you even HAVE a hardtop?

I don't have my hardtop on right now since it's a warm 84 degrees today.

 

Oh, you can keep that information to yourself.
