I don't believe so. When I first found out, it was a guy in Europe being quote 1,000 Euros. But I think I also heard of someone in the US paying $1,200 which lines up pretty well. Maybe over the last few years there is a cheaper option now?

Yeah, I don't know. When I found out, I had just bought the car and had a horrific ankle injury to worry about so I took the approach of "that's for 2022 FC to worry about."

Are having lines on the top *that* important to avoid ? To me there is something so cool about jumping into a convertible (or Targa/T tops) with the top down already. All convertible tops have wrinkles.
My only concern on the convertibles was not putting the top down while wet. |

Yikes.
Well fortunately my car is four years old, used only occasionally, and stored outside, so I am sure I won't have any battery issues in the near future. |

For now, I try to run them at least every two weeks (really the KTM, as the 4-cyl kawasaki seems to be an easier starter). If we hit a long snowy spell, I'll pull the batteries and carry them into my basement to be plugged in. |
