I'd be a little reluctant to raise and lower that cold vinyl roof in sub-freezing temperatures due to tearing or cracking. I coped with Midwestern winters for over 42 years, so I know you all are just trying to convince yourselves that top down driving is no problem in the winter.

I think the real problem is with the model years 2000 & 2001. I think the plastic rear window is prone to cracking in the very cold. I have a MY 2002 with a glass rear window.
Like Chazmo, I drive all winter with the top down. Its exhilarating.

I drove mine top-down all year in Virginia (unless there was a lot of snow/slush on the roadways. People who didn't understand thought I was nuts. The heater is great and inside the cabin is nice and toasty. The cold air is exhilarating.

I call 'em swirlies, crank up the heat, and feel the cold and the hot swirling around your head.

Chaz is serious. He's top down just about all the time. We give up at 50 degrees.
I've also eaten through two vinyl tops (and currently need a new one but probably won't anytime soon), but who's counting. [QUOTE=patty]You go, Dude!

Rick has never used one. Battery on the '04 is still original.
