I bought a used '01 and it did not come with the convertible top cover? Were they standard or optional?

 

They're standard, but a pain to take on and put off anyway. You should put one on though if you're running with the convertible down for a while.

 

where they standard in 00?

 

i believe they were standard in '00 as well.
it is indeed a pain to put on and off.

 

ya, mine and my brothers are both '00's and they came with them standard.

Standard in 01 as well. The car looks much better with it on. But sometimes when you need to raise and lower the top often, it's more trouble than it's worth.

Look on Ebay and http://www.s2ki.com, there are many of them for sale quite often.

 

oh ya, it's a terrible pain... I only do it if I plan on keeping the top down all day (like at an autocross) or something. I never leave the top down when I leave it unattended, so it's just a hassle to put the boot on and take it off all the time.

 

How long does it take to put on and take off?...start to finish

About 1-2 minutes. Pretty quick. Lays on top and just kinda snaps in. Then you spend the next 20 seconds kinda pushing on it so it seats properly. That's it.

 

Depends on if the snaps like you or not.. 1-2 minutes is about right
