Interested to hear some stories/tips on transporting a MK3 hardtop. I’m going to pick one up tomorrow in my 2013 RAV4 but getting a bit worried I won’t be able to fit it in through the boot.

So, what transport methods have you used? And yes, before the comments come in regarding just taking my 5 to pick it up…I don’t have the fittings yet so not sure that is an option.
