OK, is there a temperature point where it is unwise to operate your top?
Especially those with the plastic windows!

Let's do a theory to practice using your top. We will operate your top starting at 30 F and decreasing the temperature by 5 degrees until the plastic breaks. Then we will have conclusive evidence. jk Dan.

I have heard that any weather under 50 degrees is taking your top in your own hands. I am not saying that is the cracking point at all, but that is when I heard the owners manual says its a no no


<----no owners manual

ok, in my secret compartment, the owners manual just says, "do not operate the convertible top in freezing weather. You can damage the material and mechanism of the convertible top".
So, anything above freezing (32 degrees) is OK... I think not!

What was the temp when tdubs2k cracked his? Not close to 32 I assume??

It also says, "Do not lower or raise the top while the engine is running".

Hmmm, I don't think i have ever operated the top when the engine WASN'T running!

So I guess the "Top down while rolling" is a SUPER NO NO!
