Latched...
If you leave your top down you will be increasing wear on your top...
Where as closed it will be taught and keep it from perma wrinkle.

Should I start tearing out my soft top?

Hardtop on the way...
Soft top is going.


I know when I have put my top down for the day and I put it up latter it has wrinkles in it...
So X's that by leaving it down for an extended period of time and I think it may not be so good for the top.

Are you going to latch it or leave it down??

latch it down (after i get home)..









is it wrong to avoid the doctor as long as possible because you know there is a possibility they will probably tell you surgery is your only option?

it's understandable but not the best thing to do, get it sorted as soon as you can, it'll be for the best.






are you going to take my advice?

It's not necessarily wrong, just a way to cope. But you can't avoid the inevitable IMO.




If that *is* the only option, then isn't there the potential for more damage?

nope..it's not going to get any worse.. just the pain is limiting my ability to play for extended periods of time.

If you can play golf then that is a good idea.


Should I start to play golf again when I'm allowed?
