All the way up or all the way down, no point of driving a convertible with the top up and window down

I notice the rear window buffeting around quite a bit when we do this at freeway speed, and I don't like the implications to what it might be doing to the fabric. Because of that, I don't do it at anything above 45 mph.

I usually always drive with the top and windows down. The only time I don't even consider putting the top down is when it's raining/drizzling.

It doesn't say "Chrysler Sebring" anywhere on my S2000, so I'm not worried about it.

I'd rather not use the AC when too hot for the top down.
So, if you don't want to use the AC when it's hot... when do you use it? That's what it's there for.

I've heard that you can unzip a portion of the back window to allow more air to pass through. Having said that, I drive alot with the top up and windows down with no problems. It really depends on your speed and the wind direction.

I do this alot of times. I have never noticing any ballooning effect. It could be your top is getting worn out and becoming "loose". Maybe something to look into.
