Default Homemade window protector + hardtop storage pics

OK, the BMW Z3 trolley is in action at

http://www.ireallywanna.com/hardtop/hardtop.htm

plus there's a couple of pics of my rear window protector I'm using for the winter period. It's a roll of fibre type packaging stuff (from Viking Office Supplies) covered with a soft black fabric (from a local shop).

very natty..........another solution for the rear screen is to buy a length of foam plastic pipe lagging from Homebase or similar....does the job perfectly and no need to cover in fabric.

The reason I used fabric was that I wasn't sure if having two plastic type surfaces (i.e. foam and the rear window) in constant contact for several months would result in some form of chemical reaction that might stain the window. So, just a precaution.

Pete,

cheers for the pics. Have to ask how much is the Z3 stand as I fancy one of those.

My car has been sporting a hardtop for two weeks now but I cannot resist the urge to keep taking it off whenever the sun comes out and leaving it in the hallway is upseting folk in my house.

I found the Honda S2000 stand on the japanese website and then found the part number on the German site. Armed with this info I went to my delaer who found the part on his system and the rrp was over

Thanks for the response Pete. Glad to hear the BMW solution will not break the bank.

All the best,
