Top operation minimum temperature
Hi all
Looking in the owner's manual I see they reccomend not to operate the top when it is below 32 F.
What are the issues if it the glass rear window Crossfire top is operated at lower temps?
I know with folding plastic window tops the plastic window gets brittle and is subject to popping as it folds--have eaten a 66 Newport and about 3 Fiat 124 Spyder tops that way but have not had that issue with 68 Newport glass rear window operation down into the teens.
Thought about that today when a little sleet hit the seat at stoplight.

One of the main problems is the creases it creates in the top (can damage top) and I read some place on here that when the temp reaches 32 the top will not opperate just the falshing light on the switch..., again this I read hear somewhere.... Roll windows down and Enjoy...
