So I was researching weather the E93 convertible can have a roof rack installed on it, for reasons... I found out the answer to that question was no. But I did learn that the first gen Boxster had a factor option roof rack that still allowed the top to opened and closed.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

If it’s easy to remove when not in use I think it’s a great idea.

Depending on what you are tying to mount maybe take a look at the sea sucker mounts.

Roof rack install at 6:08.

The prob lem is, when it rains and the roof is down, you have to take the whole thing off to put the roof up. Doh.

I am so glad I didn't know that was a thing until now.

You can’t open or close the top once it’s installed. You have to pick your poison before you attach  it.

It was an exceedingly rare option

I’ve used the windshield and roll bar as a roof rack. But you can fit most anything in the back seat. I’ve had 3 bikes in there

I was going to ask if it required drilling. I guess in this case he not only ruined his seats but it’s probably rusting by now.

Good.

Supposedly you could get a Ford Ecosport with a similarly ugly door mounted spare, except that door was s ide hinged to allow for it.

Using the A pillar to support any kind of load makes me feel uneasy. Doesn’t seem particularly sturdy, given how much it rattles when windy. I mean, there’s a reason they had to add the hoop...

I don’t consider my Boxster a beater, but beater winter wheels w/snow tires are awesome. I t’s surprisingly good in the snow, and much much fun!

Making impractical cars practical is my fetish. I want to install a rack of some sort  on my miata, would be useful for trips.

Yeah, but for certain uses it came in handy. I can’t find the pic, but t here was a guy at Lime Rock that brought his track tires mounted up top. Took him ~20 min to remove once he got there, and prob 30 m in to put back on once the weekend was over.

Meant to add this pic...it also fits over the earlier model of the 986 hardtop.

Not sure about the A pillar, but the body attachment was already prepped.

Kinja'd!!!

Seems wrong that it didn’t have a way to put the roof up whilst in-situ.

One of my dreams is to built a tube framed Miata Ute. Chop off all the read body work and build a full Tube frame, and aluminum sheet metal  bed. Should at least be able to get it to 4x6ft. And I’d like it to be at least 2ft deep.
