Dont know of anyone to actually weigh one. If I had to guess I would say the rear section in 80lb range and the two front pieces about 8lbs each.

Pretty sure I read somewhere the rear portion is 92 lbs and the panels were about 15 each.

That thread and another one, can't find yet, and from what I remember, arguably 85-95 lbs for the top and about 15lbs for each panel.

Here is the other thread,

according to the manufacture Meridian Automotive Systems:

"The driver and front passenger roof sections have a mass of approximately 15 lb (7 kg) each, while the rear panel with glass, hardware, and wiring has a mass of approximately 80 lb (36 kg) on the two door, and 95 lb (43 kg) on the four-door"

it is not the weight of the panel it is how bulky it is and how it scares up very easily.
