Does anyone know the approximate weight of the late Series hardtop with all the mounting hardware, glass and trim intact? I need to know for a shipping estimate and any input would be much appreciated.

Definitely close. Will be under 85lbs for sure. I can handle one of mine "finished" with Dynamat, 4 coats brushed on Lizard skin and 1/4 inch insulated floor underlay. How's that for an about the bush weight :)

Problem is not weight but cube dimensions for shipping.

There are lots of shippers who will pick up and drop off in California. The best way to find one for your specific needs is to contact U-Ship.

If it's not padded and on a pallet it'd be buyer beware. Put em on the deck like they go on the car and it's highly likely to damage the hold down clamps, plus the corners can easily get damaged. Location and price are a consideration plus there's no substitute for removing the corner pads and inspecting someone's work or the covered up drain holes in the corners.
When I've tried to sell one here it's been like Bring a Trailer. Someone that got banned plus another did their best to beat my pinata...
That said it's considerably harder to find one since you can't buy a whole car for $$$ cheap pick the top and then resell it like we used to.
