[Mondo]

Came across this online and then came across this thread

 

So a bump for any new members which would like to consider this option

 

Although I cant vouch for logistics of Japan import of such a thing

"We are Japanese hardtop friends!"

 

 

Google translate to the rescue!

I get a crick in my neck just looking at those.

I've seen a few on Instagram, they slide back on hatchback door pistons, then slide forward when you sit in them. Very clever and prevents the wierd shrimp move I do when the soft top is on.

2900USD + shipping. I mean it isn't that bad for a 3 season car..

I like it in principle and looking "cool" in pictures but I'd never have the use for it. 

 

I drastically prefer driving with aero screen and that's a lot of money to spend on something that will take that pleasure away.

 

As far as practicality of keeping the car away from the elements, typically if its cold enough for windshield it becomes too cold for me to be out regardless.

 

With that said, if I needed to keep the car outside for the winter for whatever the reason or even spring/fall seasons this would be bought in a heartbeat as a simple solution to provide some degree of weatherproofing.
