Angry Hardtop Stand Storage Trolley for OEM and Mugen hardtop

Since the beginning of ownership, I always had concerns regarding the hardtop storage when it is off the S2000 and I was looking for all possible solutions and alternatives.

After a lot of consideration, I decided to get a hardtop stand storage trolley, which ends up to have an excellent solid construction, both in strength as in ease of use and movement of the entire stand together with the hardtop. In addition, the stand has wheels and locking mechanism to avoid undesireable movement and also a hardtop securing strap for additional support.

It took about 15 minutes to put this thing together and it was very easy. Its pretty straight forward actually.

I have uploaded several photos since there are not enough photos online with details.

You can find it on Ebay, by searching as "HONDA S2000 CONVERTIBLE HARDTOP STAND STORAGE TROLLEY 1999 ONWARDS 050". I have ordered mine from a UK Seller, but you can find it also in US with a different brand or seller.

EDIT: A fellow owner from the Greek Community has also asked me the dimensions for the stand and hardtop, therefore just for reference I am adding also those photos below.

I'm 99.99% sure the HT should be stored with the window on the top, at least with the OEM top. This takes all of the weight and pressure off the glass and places it onto the metal.

Honda's design is different. But I can hardly believe that the OEM hardtop is so delicate to affect the glass and structure if placed otherwise.



On the other hand, a Mugen CF hardtop does not have any significant weight compared to OEM.

I have a home made PVC one and I probably spent close to $100 for parts after I added casters. Nice stand for the money, way more cost effective than OEM.

Thanks, that is true.

A fellow owner from the Greek Community has asked me the dimensions for the stand and hardtop, therefore just for reference I am adding also those photos below which are self explanatory. I have included them in the original post as well.
