I wouldn't leave the hardtop at home for a road-trip.

unless you are going somewhere there is no rain at all. (?)

 

This is why I don't get why people pay extra for a convertible that doesn't have a soft top.

 

When I lived in Los Angeles, I wanted to take a road trip up the central valley, into the Sierra Mountains, and back down the coast. I called several weather bureaus and asked, "will there be any rain anywhere in California in the next two weeks". After they stopped laughing at me, they said that I should be OK if I stayed out of the mountains. They were right. I left the top at home, took the trip, and only got wet from the forehead up when it rained a bit at the last. (OK, we did hide out in a mountain tunnel for a while, waiting for the storm to pass.)

Your local weather bureaus are your friends. Ask them.

I wouldn't risk it.

 

thomsbrain - not worried about the drunks...

S14 to S2k - I bought the CR because it is what I wanted, simple enough.

Woodson - I don't understand a lot of things. To me the CR is the perfect car... for ME.

Mike21 - Risk? Driving any convertible is always a risk. I can either have my "Car cover of some sort slashed or a soft top slashed.

 

To all those that may think it is risky, I disagree. If someone wants to break into my car, they are going to do it no matter what. I however am not to worried about that. My main concern and the reason for posting is so I dont get a wet ass in the morning if I stay the night somewhere.

 

In for the "someone stole my seats and shift knob" thread.

 

do you have to worry about morning dew or moisture from parking outside overnight?

the other issue is that the interior just gets dirtier faster.

i also wouldn't go without the hardtop if there's any chance of rain.

 

You make it seem like the cloth top is some sort of force field.
