One thing to consider:  The soft top seems to have a life expectancy of
somewhere around 5 years.  My car is nearing its 4th birthday real soon now
and the rear window is completely yellow, even though I keep a pillow case in
the car and cover the window with it whe the top is down and I have a hard
top for the winter.  The window is also broken, it cracked when a neighbor's
cat jumped on the car this winter during a cold spell before I had a chance
to put on the hard top.  The cost to replace the window is ~$400 the cost to
replace the entire top is ~$2800.  These costs would have been covered by a
warrantee, if I still had one, but that went away about 11 months ago.

So If you spend $685 on an extended warrantee adn get them to replace your
top after 5 1/2 years or so, it might be worth it.
