Re: RE: hardtop storage

[Stan Barnett <S.A.Barnett@domain.elided>]

  Like you, my hard top is propped up against the garage wall and
doesn't get moved unless I move house. It hasn't been on the car for 15
years as I only drive it on dry, reasonably warm days. Indeed, the soft
top only sees the light of day very rarely,
