Ok, from my point.
I think you are only looking at the negative side of owning a soft top.
Things you have suggested that might happen sometimes do, but not often.
Have i ever had anything happen to me? In short, no.
Worst is muppest decide to wash their winscreens when in front, but it makes for a refreshing mist of cool air in the summer.
Have i owned a soft top before my zed, no.
Do i regret owning it, no.
Would i have another soft top, yes indeed.
Sure, we have a few drips of water getting in the car,and? Never suffered with condensation either.
Its great getting the top down when it nice weather, early mornings on a summers day are great.
One problem i have is that when roof is down the sun can be right in your eyes. Answer, hat.
All in all, apart from being robbed blind by the ever increasing cost of running it, to which i now question is it worth it, its a great car come rain or shine and have never regretted buying or owning it.
