I bought my car as a driver, and have a fiberglass top that probably will never be removed, love it for the driving I do. Got the car last October, and with the top was able to drive it all winter, building nearly 4k miles in that time. Without the top I doubt if I'd have any where near those miles. Now that summer is upon us, I like the top for sun protection, and yes to protect that bald spot!! Have to agree with an earlier post, it's a lot tougher to get into with the top on, so you may want to consider that. I'm 5' 9" at 150 lbs., so have little problems once I've learned how to maneuver in & out. Only have had the car up to 100 mph so far with no problems, but do give some thought about those occassional heavy wind gusts from passing trucks bowing the top very slightly when they pass. Have considered adding another windshield clamp (has two now) but haven't done it yet. I'm not the typical Cobra traditionalist, just want a car that suits my driving, and with nearly 6k miles on it in the past 7 months it indeed is a year round driver. In short, love the fiberglass top, good luck on your personal decision.
