You haven't lived until you are in a pouring rainstorm and the replica AC Ace roof is leaking like a sieve.
I've done a lot of road tips, some my top has seen plenty of action. It is hard to get on, I need to stretch the hell out of it. And if the car sits all night in the rain - the inside fills up with water. Like 6 inches in the driver's footwell and 3 inches in the passengers. You also haven't lived until you bailed water out of a Cobra in the rain in a motel parking lot...ahh. Try to dry it out before it molds. I recommend heading for sunny climates.
The tonneau is a better choice for parking the car in the rain...less leaks. When I'm on a solo trip, I'll leave the tonneau on all the time, just opening the driver's flap for driving. I typically use the tonneau to secure the car at night, like in motel lots. Leaving it on also provides someplace to store drinks, etc. out of the sun.
Anyways, drive in the rain. You'll have fun stories like these!
It doesn't look too bad...
