The hardtop definately won't be going on until October / November.
Mine only went on in December for a few weeks and then I took it back off.

There's still the odd day in winter when theres an opportunity of a roof down crispy mornings drive, shame to miss it

Don't worry, I won't actually be putting the hard top back on.
Managed a couple of times with the roof down today - feared for the windscreen in a hailstorm on the way home though. Luckily roof up already as the clouds I was heading for looked like the end of the world.

I've now put my roof on - as a stand against the bad weather!

However, it does rattle a bit, not a lot, but enough to be noticeable...

Is this normal or is there some trick ie padding it out somewhere?

cheers

Someones got a new 07 down the road few weeks ago and they have still got their hard top on since new! Don't know when they will be taking it off!

I only had a quick moment with the roof off in the last 3 weeks, so annoying!!!

The weather being what it is, I'm thinking of having a sun roof fitted to my hard-top.

Looked at the charts today and they certainly suggest that the weather is very likely to improve early next week with 2/3 highs moving in from the west. The bad news is that before then we should see a few really windy days.

That was the Boaby weather.

Weather here is supposed to be improving tomorrow and should even be properly sunshiney over the weekend
