Default Protection for Downpours/Summer Heat

Sudden south Florida downpours and hot summer heat can make a great summer day miserable. Like many others, I always bring along a tonneau and car cover. All the tops for these cars look like s__t. Brought my standard top to a canvas shop and used it as a base pattern to design a better top. Used the same window header bar frame. First thing I did was cut the roof support bars to a shorter height. This was adjusted to my height sitting in the seat. Other changes made the top more water proof. (Not enough room to explain here) The other big change was making the rear window removable. This allows great air movement in the car. The top helps block the hot summer sun and makes the car more enjoyable to drive. If it rains, it takes me a matter of seconds to seal the car. When not using the top, the rear window can be removed and stored flat in the trunk to avoid damage. I have pictures of my car in my profile. Bad news is... I have never seen a top on these cars that looks great. I feel, at least my top is an improvement!
So where in South Florida are you? Where are you getting your car from?
Love to meet up with you sometime? Best Regards, Hal
