Hardtop is on from Oct to April, during summer season ragtop is up only when raining or cold when on interstate. Otherwise the heater does a fantastic job when needed.

I was wondering the same thing. I live in Southern Utah and it's nothing but a bunch of hillbillies down here that like trucks and Mustangs...or at least it seems like that. I go top down in my NFR and never notice anyone even glance over. Oh well, I'm not an attention-whore so it doesn't break my heart

Most of the time im just too lazy, I have to really be in the mood to put it down and the weather has to be real nice. Im about 75% top up...but then again it feels a little more special when u dont do it all the time

I drive around lots of the time with the window down and top up. I love the vinyl rear window because you can zip it down while the top is up, "bimini" style. Usually have it this way when its hot out, keeps the sun from blasting my eyeballs out. It has to be frickin snowing before I zip the window up.

My top is down 100% of the time. Its down when the hardtop is on, and when I drive with the HT off, its also down.

No top down when:

- it's too cold out there (would crack the top!)
- driving through a shady neighbourhood
- driving on the hwy for more than 2 hrs?
- I need to go for an interview/serious work (can't have messy hair!)
