    driving with T-tops...

    Hey guys, I was wondering what you guys thought about on driving with only one roof panel off, like the driver side? I haven't driven it like that myself, but sometimes I wanna go with the tops off, but because of my injury and part lazyness, I don't feel like going through the motions of opening the hatch and storing the tops, then doing that whenever I get to where I'm going (too many untrustworthy people around shopping areas/restaurants).

    It's been mainly in theory what I have been thinking because I could just toss the top to the backseat and quickly put it up when I get where I'm going. As I said, i haven't done it, but was interested in knowing if any others thought or had a similar thought as I do.

    i put them in the back seat if i take them off while im driving. but it only takes what one min to put them both in the trunk. and by the way good insurance and a alarm alows me to go shoping and leave my car with the t-tops off.

    Makes sense. I shouldn't be so lazy. But again it was just an 'in-theory' thing. :-D

    Sales guys always made that a selling point of a t-top car. They were like if your passenger wants the tops on and you don't, you can just take one off. I was like what ever dude, I don't want to look like a idiot! If I left my tops in the back seat they would either get broke or the interior panels will from having to much fun in the corners and them flying around.

    recovering from surgery. I ruptured my achilles tendon on my left foot and I'm barely learning to walk again (I use crutches to abulate). Before the injury, I would love to drive with them off all the time, but its a pain and kina hard storing the tops with crutches...lol. Only did it once and never again! Thank God for this forum, or else I would've been buying new pass. t-top.

    I get it, it looks tacky and simply plain...should I say ricerish? eh? Mostly a thought, since I got the car in June and drove with them off religiously for awhile. Thanks for all the input though! Really appreciate this forum. :-D

    I love budlight...:-D
