As of today I'm hardtopped, now I can look forward to a sh*t load of condensation on the underside of roof..certainly wakes you up on a cold morning

close your vents at night and make sure there is no dampness under the seats.

Maybe I won't have the problem this year as the rail was succesfully replaced at the last tech day at Ivans'

Not having one myself, do the hardtops decrease wind noise at speed ?
And do they seal okay ?
