Best measured with something plastic like a wall plug that you can slide in the gap without paint damage

If it's too close you risk body damage at the rear and wind nose at the leading edge
It looks like the gap is greater towards the passenger side, this is what I think 'Dave the wheel nut' was referring to. Mine is flush right across.

Ah OK my misread. No adjustment at the front. All controlled by raising and lowering and sliding the top around at the rear corners

Had to take a photo because the Zed looked like the batmobile with the hardtop

Spring will soon be here, then you can post your roof down shots

Is that a Ford Capri?

Definitely NOT a Capri - it's nearly 10 years old and the floor hasn't even started to rust!

Perhaps I should get a Webasto roof put in.

Je-sus Christos, that is some whippy aerial there Tony...

Bet you get good radio reception - or maybe you are broadcasting from inside there?

I hope he does get good reception - I'm thinking of going back to a whippy myself!

A stubby may be pretty, but if you want to listen to the radio a stubby is almost as useful as a chocolate teapot with a hole in it!

Stubby or Whippy.... It's the marmite challenge all over again...

I prefer the look of the OEM whippy. Oh, and it's great for picking up the radio too

The good 'ol Capri eh! I reckon a webasto roof will look cool, start a trend even. A brown one

I may even get my hardtop one in white!
