Hi everyone,
I usually only post about my problem, so here a post about my process on doing the lightweight targa top for this summer.
I have one top that is quite heavy but with a very nice padded liner for winter. (10.5kg)
its way too heavy for me take it off by myself everytime so after seeing some nice posts here I will try it also.
I bought a spare top for 100$. It was kind of bare. (9kg) no padding at all.
I didnt do a very refine job, so to speak. Cutting the fiberglass was a real pain with all the dust.
This is also a test, to see if it will matter or not, if theweight difference would be that interesting.
The pieces I cut from it were kind of heavy... Will give you the new weight tomorrow and take some photos of the rest of the process.
I bought this kind of fabric HERE Not super fancy but its cheap, so I bought for two tentatives.
My aim is to use the heavy, padded one in winter, and to use this lightweight one in summer, basically always open except if I park the car in the street or in my home
(Note: I live in south of France so its kind of sunny everyday during the summer time)
I have some glue but I will try to clamp it from the left to the right, will take some photos.
The rigidity is still quite good, but wouldnt cut more of it.
