Default Will a Hardtop fit in an 06 Odyssey?

So I searched and found where someone says that Jeff (Hardtopguy) used to transport hardtops in an Odyssey van. Can anyone confirm this and/or provide the year of his Odyssey? Thanks!

It fit in an '08 odyssey, thats what I carried mine back in. Just make sure to bring some blankets for padding. You'll prob have to remove the boxes though.

Thanks for the response guys. I'm driving 2 hrs to pick up this used HT, so I didn't want to be disappointed when I got there. GT NFR, any tips or tricks I need to know of or watch out for, or is it pretty straight forward?

Take your car with you. That's the best way.

I would but I don't have the hardware yet. It's too good of a deal to pass up so I'm going ahead and picking it up.

"Remove the boxes"? Hah...if the hardtop was left in the original packaging, it would hardly even fit in an 18wheeler trailer. That's how mine came, there were only a few inches to spare on each side.

But yes, I've seen it in an Odyssey and in many pickup trucks.

As long as is fits in an Odyssey, I'm Golden! thanks for the input guys. I may take some pics so everyone can see how tight it fits.

Lots of padding, especially for the bottom pins.
