Also if u do have a cover how much do u end up using it? Or do u just put manual top back up when u park?
What would be the use of a cover vs just putting the top up?

Takes about a minute to cycle the top if you’re moving slow.

When parked mines up and secured

I have both a full cover and a Bimini top, rarely use the full cover, mostly the Bimini...not out but parked at home.

So I originally bought this one for my 2006 Boxster, it was used but in great condition, designed for that model it has tabs the are captured when you close the trunk lid, on the sides, Velcro loops for the door, and around the mirrors, up front either under the wipers or another loop to wrap the wiper arm. It is not a perfect fit on the Spyder but it really does protect the interior from the sun or bombing raids executed by our feathered friends!

This is one of the few listings I could find, but as this example is made by Covercraft (A US product) I am confident you should be able to find it Bob. https://www.coveritcanada.ca/interior-covers-convertibles

Here it is with the top down, when ever I need to leave the Spyder out for hours I throw this cover on, the light colour helps to keep the interior cool as well.

Default Tweeter Upgrade

Burmeister tweeters to replace the Bose as discussed in another thread. All I need now is the car.
