![]() <-QuoteBegin-LittleRocket The brackets where the seatblets bolt too and the hartop rear latches clamp are part of the soft top. The bracket thing will be a problem, but something thats probably fixable. Id remove the softtop for both reduced weight and to make a little money. In FL, I have the hardtop on through our hot and rainy summer months and then I take it off and only use the soft top for emergencies for the rest of the year (I park in a garage). The hardtop would be permanently attached. Most in this camp have a hardtop in play 3-6 months out of the year (winter), and likely store it and use soft top for the remainder. And you WILL have some pop up shower emergencies requiring quick soft top use. The hardtop is easy to remove, but not always easy to store. ![]() Yes, a 3MZ-FE will fit in a Spyder - with more wires. Yes, a 1MZ-FE will fit in a Spyder - use search for pics. Yes, a 3S-GTE will fit in a Spyder - sorry, no pics. THeyre listed with all the other hardtop pieces. If you are owner-type #2, don't even consider it. You can order them from the US parts system - expect to pay 50-80 each. But you will likely never take the top off-you now own a coupe. But if this is a long-term relationship and you don't mind limiting your options, gut away. If you are owner-type #1, you still need to consider that you are drastically reducing re-sale.

Toyota MR2 Spyder Hardtop Stand Trolley Cart Rack & Hard Top Dust Cover 050B. "There is nothing like driving with the top down-sunshine on my face, and wind in my hair-I feel alive and happy to be out for a drive. ![]() and hey, I love MR2's just like my old mk1-I would buy another one of those, but I really want a newer and nicer car."Ģ. Package includes carbon fiber OEM style hardtop and hardware & installation kit. I bought this thing because I get Toyota reliability and mid-engine handling dynamics. This hardtop is made with Grade-A carbon fiber material and is fully finished. "I wish Toyota would have made another hardtop MR2. (I have build several aquariums out of both glass and Plexi from 5 gals to 450, and I own 4 sailboats (ok, 3 of them are 11 ft 1 is 30 ft) and do repairs for other owners at the marina as a side job.1. (again, this is the way most sailboat windows are installed, plexi/lexan to fiberglass hull, some form of sealant, I like Butyl, and then some kind of securing fastener, bolts are better, but I've seen screws) So yes, plastic window to plastic hard top, I would definitely recommend the bolts!!! Anything you put between the two is just sealant, not a trustworthy glue. Now, there are probably many different grades of Butyl, and the stuff I use is probably NOT suited for window installation, so please to some research on your own. You can get it in a tape form at a camper supply (I use it to seal any and all through deck fittings on Sailboats). Butyl is what the industry uses, and it's not that expensive. However, even if the rear window was glass I would still not recommend using Silicone, as it's adherence to the composite hard top is questionable. I only use Silicone to fix plastic to glass if it is not structural. More Pictures of my car with the top can be found at Group A Toyota MR2 Spyder Hardtop | Group A MotoringīTW, as an aquarium hobbiest/builder while Silicone has tenacious adhering ability to glass, it's "stick" to plastics (plexi/lexan.) is less than 50% of that to glass, and even then it's hit and miss. Overall, great fit, very light, and relatively inexpensive. The company is based in California, so if you live in NY, it will take a lot longer to arrive. One of the only complications I see is that they can only ship it to a commercial address, so be wary of that.

They are made to order and take quite a while to ship. is an independent Toyota enthusiast website owned and operated by VerticalScope Inc. It will reek of resin on the inside of your cabin for while, just FYI. Seals are included, but the OEM ones off your soft top will fit perfectly so use those. ![]() Not for the faint of heart, drilling and measuring is required for that step. A preshaped lexan rear window is provided, you supply your own bolts and caulking to adhere it. Also, it costs LESS than OEM! The construction and finish is fantastic, and I had no fitment issues whatsoever. There is a fiberglass option as well, but I opted for the cf for the looks and weight savings. As the title suggests, I wanted to make a quick review of the GrA cf top.
