FS - Soft Top

I have a soft top from a 2005 Elise. I drove the car for a year with the soft top, then purchased a gull wing top and the soft top has been stored in my garage ever since.

It was a touring top, but the insulation on the 05 models was poorly installed. It would fall on your head on warm days. So I removed and threw it away.

I have the top, bows, and the bag. All are in very good condition, however it is used, so don't expect absolute perfection. There are no flaws, discoloration, or tears, but if you look at the edges of the underside, there is still some glue residue from the insulation.

Asking $600 plus shipping. I'm on the west coast. PM me with any questions.

The insulation was a well known issue and would've been taken care of by the dealer as a warranty item.

You are right, the dealer would have taken care of it. But, I drove the car for 6 months with the insulation and 6 months without and it didn't seem to make a difference. I saw no need to replace it just to have it fall on my head again.
