its cuz im a drummer and the equipment is a B**** to put in the trunk and take out with the lid slanted like that. i was having doubts that it would fit because of the assembly holding the the lid. but it looks like it might work, tell me what you think thanks

you can build the same thing with 5 dollars worth of parts at home depot. In fact, when you buy one of this kits on ebay, all you get are nuts and bolts.

I know this b/c my boy was selling them on ebay when I was in college.

Besides, the angle is a bit decieving...its not like the entire deck would push back, you still have your plastic window and top in the way. You would still have to settle items in their at an angle.

Also, you mentioned putting in a drum? Why not just drop the top and put it in the backseat? Then again...that is sorta a pain too..
