 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    John

 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'    John

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