The glass screen still folds down onto the parcel shelf so I'm sure they will both fit at the same time.

My sunspot TF came with a colour coded hard top which I probably should've kept given the difficulties of paint matching it, but I sold it pretty much as soon as I got the car home after picking it up as I knew I would never use it myself and I figured it was more valuable as a stand-alone item to sell rather than just a selling point for the car (if that makes sense).

I love my glass screen and would never want to go back to plastic now.

I've got one, I have to say I have just put it up for sale; but i think i will take it down again. The HT may not go on but i'd still want it just incase, if some one damages the soft top and i dont have the money at least i can still make it secure and water tight, quickly and easily.

I agree i like the TF with the HT as well as the ST.

My TF has the glass rear screen and the hard top fits over it - just! I found that the hood does not fold quite as flat as it does on my F (still with plastic screen) but enough to fit the hard top over.
