Subject: do I need to unzip window for top down driving?
   Date: Wed, 4 Jan 1995 20:06:15 -0500


     I just got my Miata.  :) :) :)

     I am in love. This is the best car I have ever driven.  I've
driven cars that are faster and handle better, but overall, the
Miata has class.  Unfortunately, here in San Diego we are getting
rain.  I buy the car Tuesday night and it rains all day Tues, all
day today (Wed.).  NOT FAIR!! Oh well, it will be sunny in a few days
and it will stay that way for weeks. 

    Anyway, I was reading the owners manual and it says that I should
unzip the rear window and always attach the cover piece whenever I
have the top down.  That would seem to make taking the top down a lot
more of a hassle than just unhooking the two clasps and dropping it,
with the window still zipped up.  Do I _really_ need to unzip the window
or is this just Mazda being anal??  This is my first convertible and I
have no idea about this sort of thing.

Thanks,
