Default Quick Question! Can I temp use Manual Roof whilst Transtop not workin??

Hi All, New here so ere goes, lets see if i do this right. lol

Can I use the Lightweight aluminium roof (from a manual top) just for the moment whilst takin on and off etc instead of heavy transtop one as it isnt working?

Are the fittings any different or.... can i just put it on and when remove it leave it in house?

I have a 1992 Del Sol SIR (JDM), been in the garage for nearly a year whilst modifying it, the transtop is no longer workin the car is gettin sprayed any day soon so I want to be out and about in it. Its only temporary whilst I get it fixed? Any advice will be appreciated, thanks all!

A large portion of the member base on this site are in/from the United States of America. We don't get the Trans Top here, so a lot of us won't know all the differences.

Unfortunately a lot of our more knowledgeable members have recently left due to the site becoming clunky after a redesign.

I wish I could have helped more.

I believe Australia also got the Transtop, so OZHonda might be able to help out.

No, you can't use the manual roof top. When you strip both down, you will see that they are different.
