I'm having a philosophical problem with this. The few minutes out of the year that the top is up, what's the point? But, I guess if you live next door to a rain forest it might be OK.

Not sure if you live in a gated community with its own stores, but I probably would not park the convertible with top down on the street, be begging for trouble.

And since these tops are well insulated, they're not just for summer fun anymore.

Yea, those tops are so rare. I have only seen one or two. Wish they had those back in the Gen 1 and Gen 2 MINI days.

The Highgate convertible came with a metallic threaded brown top which was cool also.
