Have had mine off since April and will proably stay off until end of November. Love the southwest temp today 88 and that means cruise after work.

I took mine off in April and didn't put it back on until recently. It usually stays off and stored in my garage. I have a RainCoat that I use when the weather looks like its turning bad. That takes up less room in the cargo bay.

I was also told that when installer did my top, he says he has to do the straps, so the top don't balloon up when driving with the top up.

Took mine off a couple weeks ago to do body work and put it back on. Last time it was off was 5 years ago. Body work that time too. Been driving Vettes since 1980. It would not bother me if the roof was permanantly attached. I'm just not a vert type of guy. I like the climate control.

The first two items make the car much nicer at highway speeds with the top off.
Big difference.
