Default Hardtop answers

A hardtop can be held on using bungee cords at speeds of at least 90mph.




A Honda hardtop stand & hardtop cover WILL fit in the S2000 boot. This requires removing the spare wheel, CD changer, and one wheel from the stand.



Thanks for the help Marc

So why the need for a fixing kit?

mainly to stop the hardtop severing your or your passengers head in the event of a crash!
