I've had the president of Butler University (here in Indianapolis) and his wife sitting on the top cover of my 2002 vert for Butler's homecoming parade, and didn't have any problems. Naturally, they were sitting on towels.

I thought that was the punchline to about a thousand jokes Just use a towel and you should be fine

I was trying to help, but I got to laughing too hard. You may want to bring the passenger seat all the way forward if you don't have any other passengers/beavers with you for a little extra room. Have fun

It's not a bad idea to have your "guest" remove his shoes. Unless he is being lowered from a helicopter, he'll have to step on something leather to get up there. Most guests will understand.
