Hi Nick

We often leave the top down and use a cockpit cover. Goes on and off
real easy and keeps the sun off the interior. We have even done it for
overnite parking if we feel the location is safe. Some people use a
tonnau(sp ?) but I think they are too much of a hassle to fasten the
snaps.

        Top down all day

I drove into work today with the top up and the weather BEAUTIFUL
because I
was late :(  As I was screaming down the freeway to get in close to on
time, a thought crossed my mind.  Would it be bad for my interior to
leave
the top down in the parking lot all day, exposed to the elements while
at
work?  Does anyone else do this regularly?  Can you comment on the cons
of
doing this?  I hate putting the top down for the 15 minute drive to
work,
back up at work and back down for the drive back home.  

Thanks
