It'll be warm, but not sunny enough to have the top down -- unless you plan on driving 160km/h so that water doesn't enter the cabin.

Btw, Ron how's your top sitting? Any wind noise? Have you tried to hose it down to see if it leaks?

Visually, i wonder if it sits a little high. Maybe 3/4 of a cm gap.

I guess i need to wash it this weekend but from last weekend's rain, there were no leaks.

As for wind noise, i get a very slight whistle on the drivers side at highway speed and nothing on the passenger side.

Yeah, suppose to be warm but rain

The black looks wicked on the white, even though it is similar to the softtop

I love HTs!!!
Looks good.

Actually the softtop will not go up with the HT on more than just a small fraction. The two little metal stops on the inside edge of the HT at the base of the rear window make sure of that.

I had that happen to me when I put the top on, it turns out the driver's side window seal was a bit out of place so i poked it back and now my car is oh so quiet even @ 130 km/h.

not a peep of wind noise.
