67'ish...give or take...it comes off. Don't like to bake in the hot sun so mid 80's I'll leave it on.

When I first got mine my wife would always want to put the windows up while moving any faster than 25 MPH. (the hair thing) I said heck fire.....we didn't buy a convertible to drive around with the windows up !!!!! Back to the OP's question. Mines down 95% of the time, but not usually when it's lower than 70 degrees.

Around 60 degrees and above. Always down when road tripping, no matter how hot it is. Hit 115 on a Vegas to LA trip, and the Valentine 1 stopped working correctly, but the top stayed down.

Whenever I feel like it. If it's cold, I turn up the heat and dress accordingly. This was in my 65.

Not sure where to get one....mine came with my car but I can say it does work to reduce the airflow inside the cabin. As far as noise goes....not sure if it reduces it because I only rode with it once not attached and the wind bothered me more than the noise.

Some of you old people are really filthy.
FWIW: After riding motorcycles for 45 years it had run its course. "Nothing is forever." When I was young I loved it so much I would ride it below freezing. I remember coming out of bars at 2 AM and the bike seat would be covered with frost. As I got older, this became less and less fun.
So I now have a Corvette, with climate control, and I can drive it when it's 30 out with just a shirt on. So the top stays on, and I can enjoy tooling around without a ton of clothes on and still being cold.
When does it come off? Probably have to be at least 70 out.

I take the top off when temperatures are between ~60 degrees and ~80 (humidity dependent). Otherwise, it stays on.

Not sure if this will help or not...might steer you in the right direction at least.
