My first winter with the S and I don't have a garage (or one in which it will fit anyway) and so since it has been snowing all day I am pondering...

Is the weight of the snow/ice/snow is worse than the thermal layer it all provides for the -6 night time temperatures we have down here at the moment.

I do have my opinion but I am interested in everyones views.

I also recognise that this might be a silly question.. I've never had a soft top before

 

The weight of snow won't be an issue on the soft top (if that's what you are asking)

We had a -14 degree night up here last year and 8" snow on the soft top.

 

A note to all plastic rear screen owners- do not put your roof down untill the screen has been thoroughly warmed.

Or else it will crack, like mine did

 

I was thinking this too, (being my first winter with the S) I always thought I would brush the snow off because of its weight just to be on the safe side.

 

gbduo, I did that last year. No harm doing it and snow can be very heavy!

 

I trapped a plastic bin liner (opened out) in the windows over the roof. Just peeled it back to shift all the snow in one go.

 

Yeh, I have seen pictures where only 6 inches of (albeit compacted) snow has collapsed roofs on buildings!

Can't help but think it would take considerably less to crush that thin tubular steel!

Oh and its Graham btw

 

Lol I was going to ask the same question but thought it was going to be a daft noob question so refrained

I keep brushing the snow off mine to be safe

 

Thank god they invented the hardtop

 

and S2000 size garages

Anyway LL cant you just melt it with one of those lasers of yours
