s2k + hardtop through automatic car wash = bad?
I am considering getting a hardtop for the winter months. I know that taking the car w/ the softop up through an automatic car wash is not recommended, since the pressure of the water can break seals in the soft top.
My questions is, are there any problems taking the car through an automatic car wash with the hardtop on? Is there water leakage problems with this? Anyone w/ personal experiences to share would be great.

i do hand wash now, but I don t want to hand wash in the winter months unless i have to....I'm kind of anal about keeping my car clean...but it would be cold enough without freakin water all over my hands.
If i could avoid hand car washing my car without damaging it, i'd like to.

I took mine thru a touchless wash. No problem. I must have done a good job during the install because it didn't leak

At least 3 times during the winter months.
I seriously cannot see why it would be a problem with the car wash. Look at how thick those rubber seals are! If you've settled your hardtop down and the seals are properly in place it shouldn't be a problem. The rear portion is the only place that is most likely to leak.
Bring some extra towel the first time, just in case.
