Situations a soft top would not be a good idea

golfball sized hail
Actually, I just went through that last week near Cincinnati. The top held up fine. The rest of the car, not so good. Every metal panel on the car is dented - hundreds of dents, both door window trim strips, broken windshield, broken center brake light and one cracked tail light.

Now to round things out, 2 days later, on my way home, the car in the next lane ran over a few road gators (retread strips) and tossed them into the front of my car. Ripped out the front grill, tore off the mounting posts on the bumper cover, and scratched up the hood (which was already all effed up from the hail anyway).

Haven't got the estimate yet but the guy was ballparking 4K plus. Might have been nice to get a new top too. Oh well. TGFI (Thank God for Insurance).
My wife had my pickup truck (which is junk) during that storm in Cincinnati. She was afraid the windshield was going to break. I had her car, which is much nicer, in KY. My S was safely in my garage.

A lot of coworkers had between $2500 - $3000 in damage estimates from the storm too.
