Re: Spyder Rag Top

Saw a 2016 Spyder on the floor at Porsche of the Main Line so I took a closer look. I was interested on how the top worked. A rep there assisted and we actually put the top up. It is about the same manual effort/process as putting the top up on my 1974 MGB. I like pushing a button better.

Yup. That button helps keep peace in the family when one has a tendency to wait until the last possible moment before the skies open up to raise the top.

I like everything about the Spyder except the manual top. A 3.8 in a GTS would be even better. I'm
