? on vert's
I am looking at a 92 convertible.
Is there anything I should look for that is a problem with vert's, i.e. tear in a certain place or frame problems?
Also, are they known to leak in certain places?

Make sure the "X" brace is still attached under the car. Make sure the top will go down without any problems and all of the cables and catches work.Careful with the plastic rear window
You could also check for water leaks with a low pressure hose with a spray pattern.
Good Luck

I'm sure a hard top adds to resale value, and it might garner some style points in a show, but isn't the reason for a vert to ride topless? Most folks don't drive in the winter, so a hard top seems like a waste. Am I missing something?

4" lift. The tire howl and wind turbulance was
deafening!! I honestly wore ear plugs when I had
the top off on the freeway. My vert seems serine
now by comparison.

In the deep South or AZ, riding in the summer is hot with the top down. Your A/C works so much better with a hardtop. And it is much quietier. BUT, there is nothing like a moon lit night with the top down.
