Personally, I am a steadfast hardtop fan and cannot find any reason to have any top that is not solid steel. All my cars have been hardtops/sedans, with the exception of a 63 VW bug sunroof car I bought for $100.00 for use as to/from work car when I had a near 30 mile drive. But being a VW, after clearing the drains, it did not leak. And that is why I do not get rag tops, T-Tops or sunroofs ( which have the added \"advantage\" of less headroom) due to the leaks, rattles and added maintenance. I worked in automobile dealerships service departments for 25 years, foreign and domestic and know of what I speak. Okay, so you're one of the lucky ones who had absolutely no problem with your convertible. \r\nBut, hey, everyone should buy what they want.
