Standing on the Hard Top
Pretty self explanatory... can the Hardtop take the weight of an individual sitting or standing on it for a prolonged period of time? I weigh about 180lbs. and with the 4th of July coming up, I'm thinking maybe I'll sit on the roof and watch the fireworks...
What do you guys think??

I dont know. I would not feel comfortable doing it. The roof racks I have seen say they can hold 200 pounds, but that is spread out and supported by the racks braces.

I weigh 145 pounds and I sat on it without having the feeling like it will crack or break. I guess you just have to slowly get on it and go with your instincts to see if you can sit/stand on it or not. They seem pretty durable
If it starts to bend or something of that sort, then yeah, it can't support your weight for a long period of time.

As you can imagine, I had some doubts about it as well. Which is why I decided to consult others before I tried it...but hey, if all went to hell, it would have made for some pretty sweet pics!
