Hard Top
Just curious how many people with cabriolets living in cold climates actually use a removable hardtop. Is it worth obtaining or just a pain in the ****?

I picked up my 2001 C2 Cab used, and it was optioned with hardtop delete. I picked up a "take off" hardtop in nearly new condition from SunCoast Porsche. Although I live in Florida I wanted to have a hard top to complete my car. I put it on for the first time in Feb this year for about 6 weeks. It gives the cab a different look and a much quieter interior. It also keeps us thin blooded Florida people warm.
I have one of those rolling storage stands and cover for the hard top, which keeps it upright against the wall in my garage. It seems to be doing just fine that way. It is a 2 person job putting it on and taking it off (unless you have one of those hoist thingys).
My Cab is a daily driver and whenever I can I drive it with the top down, so the hardtop is mostly just for a brief change once a year, not a requirement at all down here.
