My spoon top squeaks like crazy on bad roads. It leaks water in when I pressure wash it.

Haven't drove in the rain yet.

I love this top, especially on the highway with the reduced drag.

are you saying that when you use a pressure washer (or even normal water hose) and work from the window to the top corner of the rubber seal (where the hardtop meets the window frame),leave it there for about 5 secs, there is absolutely no water that goes in?

with rain, it's totally fine, i only notice minor, and i do mean very minor drops of water when i wash my car.

as for the wind noise, yeah, one of my latches is a little bit loose so that probably explains it as i only hear it from one side...
Mine never leaked even when I am blasting it with water from a hose for a long period of time.

Just watch out as the front latches might be the cause of the wind noise, squeeks, and water getting in.

As for fog, drive with a slight crack in the window and the rear fog is gone. I loved my hardtop especially in the cold winters as the lining helps keep the heat in.

It is a bit quieter with the top as it is lined and will reduce some of the noise.

As for visability, I didn't notice any difference since A) mine had limo tint on it B) I'm going too fast to worry about blind spots.

Weird, Use weather striping You can buy it for Truck beds from homedepot for 10 bucks. Use it where the hartop meets the AB frame and all around the rear end of the hardtop that sits on the car. ALso use Lexan Paste for the windows (clear) then you should not leak.
