Convertible Con
After 2 yrs I finally found a con. Cottonwood. It sticks to the top like it's a flytrap

Agreed, that stuff is brutal. Fortunately, I don't live near any. But I have parked in areas with Cottonwood and it's not good on a windy day. Good thing those seed hairs don't last long.

I get lots of cat hair on mine, it seems a stray cat (My Mother is feeding all the time) loves to lay claim to my car, I park it in a covered car port so the cat has access to it.
I have figured out an answer for it (other than shoot/get rid of the cat) and that is to throw a cover over it (just the top) I have a piece of canvas that is just big enough to cover the top of the convertible part, and several super strong magnets that hold it in place........it works awesome. I am currently working on a way of enclosing the car port.

A lint roller works good at removing stuff from the top.

This thread was mainly just in fun as it was hard to find anything bad about the car Ryan

I use a small shop vac with a brush attachment to remove dirt and debris off my top. I also use it to vacuum out the interior.

BB guns work great keeping cats off my top.

I've got one of those vacs. Works great but the hose could be longer. Had a lint roller that worked great, a sticky roller thingy that you just rinsed off with warm water, but it wore out and I can't find another one like it.

Cold weather is a con too...my garage isn't heated and I have the top down 99% of the time...during the three days of winter we had here in Central Texas I couldn't put the top up because it was too cold.

You can get longer hoses at Lowe's or Home Depot.

Congrats on the drop top. Found mine a few months ago in Orlando.
Just added some vinyl to the hood. https://web.mail.comcast.net/service...=180220&part=2 |
