CA Pop Top

I saw the thread for the California Pop Top, but I can't find it, even with the search. Anywhoo... I got mine today and it looks great. Pictures below:

I'll see if my car is any cooler inside after I finish work tomorrow.

just received my pop top today. fits like a glove! You can install it in about a minute. Very light weight, double stiched, two year replacement warranty. I have an email into the company, asking how snow will effect the material.

They must have sent them all at once - mine came today too. Though it's pouring rain so I'm going to wait to go out there and try it on.

are you SURE it's not my bosses shower cap?

seriously, it looks great and what a great idea. i think i would definitely need one while parked at work. at home, it would be in the garage....

Car Covers, Car Sun Shades - California PopTop
$49.95

Reference on the site to use in snow. They put the cover on before it snowed and just pulled the cover off and drove away.

It stopped raining so I put it on - and it looks like a shower cap up close too. But it sure is easier than fighting with a full size cover (even a very small one). It probably took about two minutes, but that was reading the directions at the same time.

But nscaler, I have a couple of questions. Did you open the hatch, put the strings inside, and then close the hatch? Yours seems to fit better than mine in the back. And I don't see your antenna. Did you take it off? I just left mine on and put the cover around it.

I got the cover tight and fed the string into the tailgate cracks. Then I opened the trunk and put the rest of the string inside. I can easily open and close the trunk.
The antenna is still on. This cover is on a cabrio. Maybe it fits better?

Mine's a cabrio too - I just went out and messed with it a little more (in the rain this time!) and I opened the hatch, pulled the string tight, and then closed the hatch. Much better than the way I had it before. Thanks!

One of these days I may spring for a BikeBarn (http://www.thebikebarn.net/smartbarn_model.html), but in the meantime if it lasts a couple of years this seems like a better alternative than my sunshade. I don't have a garage and live at about 6,000 feet 5 miles from the Mexican border. It's very sunny here.

Is there a Promo Code or any discount on the covers? I did a quick e-search and didn't get any returns but ordered one anyway. Gotta have it in Sacratomato!!
