So, I guess this would be out of the question for you?

You original owners, what are you thinking, using your Cobras like daily driver cars.

I've heard that original Cobra tops may dry rot if they have not been used for decades and that they require an advanced degree to put up.

The thread holding the top together will show deterioration more than the vinyl.

Sorry to say I don't think the British were the best engineers for soft tops. At least they provided nice pictures to follow in the chassis manual.

Even when erected it doesn't mean water is kept out of the cockpit. 55 gallon trash bags slipped over the seats will help keep the leather dry.

Some preferred to run sans tops...
