i have seen our cars mostly with rain gutters sewn in the top seem
but also saw a few with out them

mine has them but they are cracked where top folds for the sunroof opening

was wondering if ones i saw with out had them removed or were bought the way?
i would like to remove mine to improve the look
has anyone attempted this and if so hw did it work out

or if you don't have them does it cause issues in the rain?

thanks
