That's interesting.  My dealer (10/89) gave me 2 window protectors
(like paper with velcro tabs matching the ones around the window)
to attach to the window when the top is down (one on each side).
They were presumably to prevent scratches.  I have been using them
religiously (which makes lowering/raising the top more of a pain).
Is the concensus that I shouldn't do this?
