I just got my RT/10 trunktop (pics inside)

[Andy 98 RT/10]

This weekend I got my RT/10 trunktop from Jeff Lemke. The improvement over the soft top is night and day.

My softop would start to get pretty loud at high speeds, but the trunktop stays quiet and stable. As you can see, it has a flat, smooth look (not double bubble). I am 5'11 and I fit just fine in the car with it on.

The top is comprised of three lightweight panels. Once you get used to taking the top on and off, it just takes about two minutes.

I would highly recommened this product for anyone with an RT/10.

I'm in for a group discount. I also need the VM windows for my 95 RT10.

A group discount is possible. I don't know how much $$$ yet. First thing I have to do is catch up with my current orders. I'll try to answer that with more details in a couple of months.

Nothing beats the Butt style top.

Have you had it out in the rain (or maybe washed your car with it on ). How watertight is it? Also, how is it as "speed".

 

[Andy 98 RT/10]

I have not had it out in the rain yet, but I have washed it. A few drips got through, but that was about it. About the same as the soft top in that regard.

The top doesn't bulge at high speeds like the soft top does. I can tell you that it's stable at 30 mph and it's stable at 130 mph....I'm not sure how it is past that though.

Would you post a pic of the top in your trunk please? Does it take up more room than the soft top in the trunk? When it is in the trunk, is there any room for luggage of any kind?

Both the left and right cubbyholes in the trunk retain their full storage capabilities. The main area above the spare tire retains about 75% of it's original storage.

I have a storage bag on the way, and I can post pictures of the panels in the bag when I get it.

Does it "drip" from between the sections or at the windscreen? As for speed, 130 is WAY more that it would ever see with me, since it would likely be used instead of a soft top.....which only sees the light of day with unexpected rain. 130 mph in the rain ain't gonna happen!

I guess my only reluctance is how much easier it is to "construct" and install than the soft top (which is a PIA IMO). Having room in the trunk is a major issue. If it's much easier, then I'd seriously consider trading the soft top for the "packable" hard top.
