Who has SmartMadness PotTop cover?
Just wondering if it can be locked into doors as SmartFlying cover?

California Pop Top?

I ordered my California Pop Top from SmartMadness, if that is what you are talking about. As far as locking it in the doors, I usually just take the ropes/strings that you use to pull it over the top of your car and throw them in the "trunk" and shut the hatch on them. Its not the way they suggest locking it, but that's what I do. Or if you follow the instructions there is a way to lock it.

I run my ropes between the tailgate and the body; like the directions state.

Then I coil the rope into a ball and tuck it under the tailgate.

No problems yet.

Thanks, Yes, that is what I am looking for. Do you use it with the roof down?

I leave my top down and just put the cover on. Works fine for me. I live in Southeastern Arizona and am always amazed how cool the car is when I have the cover on. - sheureka

This is why every building roof in the Sun Belt should be white

And if every car in southern CA came with one then the state wouldn't feel the need to Mandate reflecive glass on all cars to control auto AC use
