Well... if you don't have a soft top, and you leave the hard top at home, and it starts to rain, I guess you get wet!

Why don't you have a soft top?

Your first and foremost problem during torrential downpour without the aid of the softtop, are wild Velociraptors wielding RPG's riding Great White Sharks. Very few people live another day to speak of such feral monstrocity.

Keep your eyes open!

do like the motorcycles, sit under a bridge until it stops. Get a weather app on you phone and use it often. Sucks not having a softop as backup like I have with my hardtop.

If you keep it above about 45 mph until it stops or you find a dry place to hide out, you'll be fine.

My cr has no softop and i live in Seattle so I am used to this issue. I watch the weather closely and if it starts to rain I either put on my motorcycle helmet and look like a douche bag and keep cruising or head home. You really dont get that wet when you are moving. if you are worried about your inetrior you could always custom make a cockpit cover.
