    Hi, I would like to get hold of one of these tops for my Mondi T in case of getting caught in a shower.
    Ricambi say no longer available.
    If anyone has one they would sell to me, would be great
    Can anyone help please?

    Hi Simon,

    I'm glad you like my Spider Top ........... but I must be honest here. The Spider Top wasn't designed to ward off the attack of an occasional rain shower. It's intention was simply, to give the owners of these cars, a faster way of protecting their interiors from sun (UVA) and wind damage. Spider Top is a realistic, super light, fast alternative, to launching your "real" conv. top). Also, it takes up about as much space in your "boot", as a small coin purse.

    I'm presently looking for a new fabricator to continue my Spider Top offering.

    Simon, I promise to keep you and any other interested parties, in the loop. :)

    Cheers, Hank

    Oh please. Hank is far too modest. My Hank Top or Hankie has saved my interior many, many times from rain, diuretic birds, over saliva-tic pedestrians and the would-be petty thief. A torrential downpour, perhaps not, but given the rest of the list, priceless! It stores nicely in its tethered bag and deep into my T top cubby. Love It.

    Another mfg source? Maybe its time for another trip to Thailand, Hank?

    The factory tonneau cover is a great accessory made with the same canvas as the original top; it also has leather bungee cords which are a nice detail.

    The cover saved my interior from a seagull.....

    Hey Jonathan,

    I too, have that same OEM cover. But honestly, I found it too bulky and because it was held in place by those straps and hooks, I was totally turned off. I decided to create something far less invasive, lighter in weight, something that would take up so little space when in storage, you would almost forget that it was there.

    Spider Top is a joy to use - and it will be back -

    Cheers, Hank

    I'm surprised that you haven't taken your Spider Top and branched out to other cars. I think it's brilliant. I won't leave home without it.

    You folks make my heart quiver. Another reason to feel thankful - blessed.

    I'll get my act together - - and make Spider Top available again.

    Thanks for the love,

    Hank

    Me three. I'll take two, got a friend with a Mondi who'd love it.

    It's a blessing for the lazy F-car owner.

    Has there been any action on reviving the "Spider Top" in the past few years?

    If so, I would like to get one.

    This thread is two years since the last post. I sent Hank a PM asking about the tops, we'll see what he says.
