Default how do I ship a hard top

does anyone know the dimensions of an s2000 hard top. I need it for shipping information. Also, how the heck am I supposed to ship a hard top if the dimensions are too big. There must be a way because the people that are selling them have to do it some how.

Probably have to use a freight line. Or greyhound. It'll require a BIG box too; I think that they come in a wooden crate when shipped by honda.

Give Jeff a call at Hardtopguy.com, he probably has this stuff memorized. 1-800-342-8158...he can probably advise how to ship it properly in order to minimize any damage as well.

You need to have a crate made for you. There is no way you'll find a box big enough

56" long, 60" wide, 20" high

Not likely, it usually needs to go through a freight company.

My guess in the $200+ range. A freaking hood goes for $100 and it's no where near as heavy or bulky.
