Quieter inside the car. Heavier by 60 pounds but handles the same. Mine has a gap all round where I can insert tip of finger. Maybe an eight inch more at the corners (if you can call them corners).

I just put mine on yesterday and I had to raise the back of the top and slide it into position for the front latch. We latched the front and pushed down on the back and turned the bolts. The first bolt clicked when it was tight but the passenger side did not so I loosened it and retightened it and it clicked indicating it was latched. There is about a 3/8” gap from the top to the car. Look at the ready for winter thread and you can see the gap on my car. There is definitely a difference driving with the added 60 pounds and it quiets things down so I can now use my hands free.
