It was always a "big" day in the spring when the hardtop came off!

I had a couple other convertibles that didn't have hardtops and had to replace the tops every 2-3 years - of course they were owned in my "pre-garage" days and we're daily drivers. So am interested in seeing how the 370Z top "weathers".

I recently purchased my 2010 Roadster after selling my 2006 Corvette (with Targa top). I purchased the Vette 4 years ago. The 350Z was my second choice, but I didn't buy it because it didn't have a hardtop available. I drive the interstate a lot, and the Corvette with the targa top off isn't much fun at 70+ mph - way too much turbulence in the cockpit.

So in spite of not having a hardtop available, I went with The 370Z Roadster this time. I just have to realize that I can't drive it during certain winter conditions. Having adecent hardtop would make more useable.
Ironically, there is a company who makes a hard top for the 350z. I called them a few weeks ago to see if it would fit the 370 (it doesnt) or if they are making one for the 370 (no plans to). I could be easily persuaded to contact them with a long list of names of people interested in it to see if they are willing to put it in the plans then
