Never dropped, dinged, or hit anything else. I have solid roof, never thought it was heavy and have taken the top off by myself many times.

Never dropped mine... It takes about 30 seconds to remove and store it. It's not a pita at all.

I have to say that considering how often I put the top of my vert up and down, it would be a GIANT PITA to do so with a removable top. I put mine down when I get into it (assuming the weather is at all decent) and I put it down whenever I get out of it for any significant amount of time.

It just would not work for me at all. That is one of the huge reasons I went with a vert...cause I AM a vert guy!

WHEN I had my C5 and C6 coupe, I removed it twice daily...to work and from work, and it stayed off all weekend. No PITA for me...always felt well worth the effort for the open air return!

Now that I have a Vert, I will never go back...plus I'm tall, so its nice to not hit my head on the coupe "hoop". If it is above 60, and no rain near by, I put the top down! Love it.
