Mine will be going on when it gets frosty also. I suffer with a plastic screen (slight 1 inch cut appearing) and a slight hole on near side fabric. I think a winter without might finally kill my soft top. Lucky for me a friend on here, naming no names, has convinced me not to sell the HT as I will regret it when my soft top finally gives in.

I do dislike driving with it on though, looks ace but I have the top down 24/7 providing its not raining. Had some amazing Derbyshire drives last year in the winter sun with the heater on!

Yeah John, that's why I sold my hardtop years ago, those spontaneous winter runs with the top down, but the cars look fab with the HT on that is for sure.

You've got one of those fancy glass screen though, flash bugger Us peasants live in fear of cracked plastic!

I was all ready to sell until sir Ray talked me out of it on Saturday.

Hard top can do one.

Oh and this was an epic drive once I had got all the snow off! Winter tyres on the other hand will be going on in November.

Honestly, some off the comments you'd think the HT was bolted on and then welded in place - it DOES come off you know

I've had the hardtop on all summer

I like the look of it (although a Mugen HT would be better) and I really have nowhere else to store it.

I do miss the topless drives though...
