I used to have a Mercedese with the removable hardtop. It was a real pain to put on and off and was left off 90% of the time. It required two people so as to not damage the cor in any way. I suppose it might be good for winters back East. Storage was also a pain. I think that is why they perfected the retractable hardtop. They are more practicle but not as sporty looking.
