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 :shock:

Maybe I won't have the problem this year as the rail was succesfully replaced at the last tech day at Ivans' 8)

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