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

David,

Check with Art (azasadny). I believe he has one that he uses on his Helga. :)

Is it for sun? Cant imagine it would be very good at keeping rain out.

I think it is for sun and dirt, etc. Rain = Targa Top.

Yep, I've got a Carbrella and paid $150 for it new and have used it for about 4 years. It uses suction cups to hold it in place and it's only come off with heavy winds a few times. I've used black fabric paint on it to bring it back to black after the sun faded it, but it's been reliable and served the purpose I bought it for. During heavy downpours, it will keep the interior dry. I also use it to prevent birds from messing up the interior. Great product, although $150 was steep for it, you definitely got a better deal than I did!

1) Do you use it at home or out in public?
Yes.
2) Ever had one stolen?
No.
3) Ever have one come loose where it would blow away?
Yes. Mine blew off outside a restaurant one time- kinda embarrasing...

FWIW, I use mine a lot- but I wish it would stay on better. Plus I don't like the marks the suction cups leave on the windows...
