Sometimes I need a break from the sun. I'll end up red as a beet if I don't put the cover on occasionally.

2. Wind noise, cruising 80 on the interstate
yes i have a 01 vert and i never drive it with the top up and the windows down or vice versa
if the top is up the windows are up and the ac is on
if the top is down so are the windows-if its to much wind to handle than everything goes up.
but it takes a lot of wind for that to happen
