Mk3 Hardtop

[TOYMOTA]

I'm asking this question for a mate at work. He's got a mk3 mr2 and wants to get hold of a hardtop for it. He said that he couldn't get one from Mr T. Does anyone out there know wher e to get them?

Penelope Pitstop: I think I recall you mentioning you had one!?

Cheers

heya mate, I know this isnt of great use but when I was looking at mr2 bits today on eBay I saw 3 mk3 hardtops of varying colours, sorry cant be more helpful :)

eBay will be a LOT cheaper than Mr T.. even if it has to be sprayed. If he isn't in a hurry.. the summer is best time to look.. they go for more in winter time.

.....Yes i do have one...but i bought it when i bought the car this summer as new.....when you purchased the hardtop you also got air con with it ,,the two came together and you couldnt just buy the hardtop.....they said you couldnt purchase the hardtop at a later date or as an afterthought as it had to be factory fitted. Personally speaking i dont see why this is as surely they all come from the "same mould" so to speak,,,,,,At the moment i am waiting for my soft top to dry out so i can put my hardtop on,,I also purchased the protective cover and storage system to store the hardtop,,as i thought i didnt want the hardtop to get scratched/damaged during the summer months when it wasnt in use.... I have seen hardtops on e-bay. Glad i bought one cause it looks real nice on,,i think its the red colour co-ordination that does it....

Thanks for your replies so far.

Do you need to buy any further fixings for the hard top to connect to the car at the engine end?

Hard tops CAN be fitted after purchase, MrT even sulpply fitting kits

[Penelope Pitstop]

Toymota,,,,,,dunno bout fixing kits.....when i put my hardtop on it simply sits into two brackets on the back and then the the two levers on the hardtop inside, grabs onto the car inside to secure it......sorry bout jargon but dont know technical names for the bits and bobs ..LOL ..P.P.

[TOYMOTA]

Sound information I reckon. I think that might have answered his question.

Cheers

The rear fixing brackets don't come as a standard fitting, hence the "Mr T fitting kit"
