I am not a fan of tan tops but they did do a very good job for you.

I hope that everyone reading this thread has a pop-topp cover. IT is the only thing that you can use for protecting your top.

The heat is the primary culprit. Wind buffeting is not a real issue. The fact that these tops are black, the are like a heat seeking sensor and the cars really heat up in the southern sun.

The poptopp cover keeps em cool and eliminates direct heat on the adhesive.

At least there is an alternative if your top fails but this would never make me get rid of my roadster! These challenges go with all roadsters unless you have a sewn in like the ones on the likes of those laborghinis, but then you would have paid for a new top 100 times over! LOL!
