Sent, just wondering if I should put my top on to extend my driving season.

Only if Warm/Dry are factors!

You could always have a beautiful female wrap herself around you

I would suggest, and Rick gave this same advice to me, that you take the top inside for a few hours to let it warm up before attempting to put the top on. They are harder to stretch when cold.

If you are anal about the paint be careful the top will flap around at speed and hit the paint.

I have a Backdraft and install the top early November. I also have a heater and with both it helps keep the cockpit warmer but the windows let in a strong breeze that keeps you aware that it's cold outside. A heavy jacket and gloves are a must.

I put my top on all the time. I put a strip of clear bra where the top sits on the paint. Cheep insurance for the paint. the heater works good but the top leaks cold air around the sides. It is awesome though. Its like a whole other car. Out in Arizona I get to drive year round.
