Only because it's too cold to risk cracking the plastic rear window. If that thing was glass, the only thing that would keep my top up would be water falling from the sky in some form or another.

1) ****s up my hair.
2) Don't like the attention during the daytime.

The top usually comes down during the evenings after work/school when I need to relax on my way home.

weather permitting, the top is always down, if its a little chilli, ill keep the windows up. we're entering our winter in ny, so the top has to stay up, and for that reason i havent been driving it at all. Ive raced to intersections to be able to put my top up before rain fall so i wouldn't have to pull over, its very quick and easy.

it's so funny to heard people talk about attention with the top down. please give an example of this "attention" you're talking about. do people look at you, point at you, throw stuff at you?
