Removable roof
Hard-top and soft-top
In the Tesla Roadster, you can enjoy exposure
to the natural environment and drive without
the confinement of a cockpit roof. To provide
weather protection in unfavorable conditions,
you have the choice of installing either the
soft-top or hard-top roof.
The Tesla Roadster is designed to
accommodate changing loads and strains
that constantly occur while driving. It also
accommodates the tolerances needed to
allow repeated removal and installation of the
roof. As a result, wind noise and minor water
leaks can occur and are considered normal.
WARNING: Never attempt to install or
remove the soft-top or hard-top while
the vehicle is moving.
S
Instructions for installing and removing the
soft-top and hard-top are provided on the
following pages.
