I would say no... It would fit, but it wouldn't fold down. Unless of course, you were to fit a flexible plastic rear screen. In that case I would suggest that the roof might be flexible enough to fold away into the reduced space.

was unfortunatly thinking the same, but wasn't entirely sure how much room was under the folding board, is there a valuable 2 inches?

I'm afraid you're right  s:? :? s:?

There's just a carpet on top of that "soft top shelf" and at least I have to press my top against it to make it fold properly.


...then again, that's just a good excuse to get rid of the softtop and lose some weight  s8) 8) s8)

Who makes the two-piece soft top fiberglass cover?  If it doesn't solve the problem, maybe it could be modified to do so.

replace the rear glass with some kind of flexible plastic (like the windows in tents or clear umbrellas) and your sorted.
