The Carbrella soft T-top is ideally targeted to those who:

1. Do not want to carry their T-top in the engine bay. Yes, there are a few of us out there....
2. Have a T-top and want to show off their engines (especially boosted engines), yet not wanting to be caught without someprotection if they park it outside or it drizzles. And no one wants to travel with the OEM T-top bouncing in the trunk while you are soaking sun on the twisties.... I know a few who can attest to that.
3. Leave their T-top securely on the ground while auto-crossing onlyto find out it was damaged when they are ready to go home, one was actually driven over..... yes, we witnessed the tire marks on one yellow top.
4. Do not like the hassle of putting on and off the T-top every time they go out and park in a public structures, leave it outdoors where birds (poops) abound, or open to the elements such as pollen or UV rays from the sun.....
5. Some, especially in Florida and Southern California drive without their T-tops most of the time. While this is not the Lexan they wanted, it is a much cheaper alternative and more convenient protection.
