Make the tool used to remove/install the hard top 1" shorter.
bwahahahaha! Yes, it's amazing the little things you discover when you actually have to live with a vehicle. Here's one: quit using the horrible inset hex bolts, and switch to a metric standard head bolt. The bolt heads might be better in tight places, but they strip easily. I try to replace each one I take out with something sturdier.

We're picking nits though. Don't change the big stuff. The Elise is a fabulous car.
