Carbrella?

Not sure if this should be OT...

Just got my Carbrella in the mail - $75 on fleabay.

Questions for users:

1) Do you use it at home or out in public?
2) Ever had one stolen?
3) Ever have one come loose where it would blow away?

It certainly seems handy - and I won't have to fold up my top so much.

TIA

David

Photos for those who think I'm crazy...







Suction cups

I have one and I love it. Haven't had any issues. Much easier than carrying around the targa top.

I use one too. It's nice to have if you're out and know you won't need the regular top. I've had it on all day at work a number of times. Never had it blow off. The suction cups seem pretty good if your window is clean.

Similar concept - I use the cockpit cover (or whatever its called), which covers all the glass as well as the top, keeping out the UV rays. Keep it in a carry bag in the trunk; almost never have the regular top with me.

Wow - never heard of the cockpit cover. Got any photos?

Does our host carry these? I did quick search but didn't see the carbrella or targa cover.

Thanks,

Markus

There are/were different versions for targas and cabs. Pic below is for a cab - targa cover has more material and completely covers all windows.

Tonneau Cover for Targa??
