Something else that is really handy to have is a cockpit cover, the kind that clip to the lip around the wheel well. They go up in seconds and cover the interior nicely when parked. A tonneau is fine but the water pools in it. Search around here and I am sure you will find the type I am talking about.

In the winter, I put the top on the car and leave it. If I get a nice sunny day I just kick on the heater and drive! Much more comfortable then a dozen layers of cloths and frost bit ears! When we where driving across the high desert of New Mexico, it was dark, 28 degrees with 60 mile per hour winds. Without the top, we would have stopped!

DON'T forget to have a tensioner installed on the windshield. The top will pull the frame right off the glass. Don't ask how I know this!
