Depending on what you intend to use your car for, you can get away without using the cross bars and save on the drilling. That said I did have to leave work early one day last week as an unexpected shower meant that there was a pool of water forming on my unsupported roof :shock: . When I got down to the car there was absolutely no water ingress and as soon as you start moving the roof "balloons" up anyway.

Still not sure that I miss the topless action that much and will probably stick the hard top back on at the end of the week.

You're welcome to have a look at my Exige - I did the conversion. :thumbsup

Have an s2 elise which will be in Aberdeen tomorrow (down by the docks) and probably any dry day this week if you want to have a look and measure up.
