Default It's raining........

and even though my t-tops leak when it rains this hard I would still get a Camaro with t-tops. Dam rain. Dam t-tops. Summer time blues.

I dont drive mine in the rain even though Ive never had problems with leaks from any of my car's. It would be nice to have a break in this rain in sunny CA for over a week and a half.

Very true, I dont know how some of you guys are able to put your cars away for the Winter, I would go nuts not being able to drive my car for that long.

Try living out here in Nebraska. I have a foot of snow in my driveway. No worries though, the SS has been hibernating for almost 2 months now.

My T-Tops leak sometimes, nothing a small napkin cant clean away. Small price to pay compared to all the joy they bring me in summer.

My t-tops very seldom leak and when they do it is like a couple of drops of water. I love my t-tops still.

never have mine leak, and its been so foggy down here the last few days, i've gotta chop a hole to drive around! i put my car up for 9 days when i was working on numerous things, i dont think i could have not driven it for much longer than that.

i think i'm going to start driving our little spare car, the saturn, to school and back this semester and leaving my car under the carport. i may even get a car cover for it for during the week. i wont put more miles on it, wont have to buy super unleaded, wont have to wash it as much, wont have to buy gas every day , wont have to worry about dings and dents in the school parkinglot, the list goes on forever. i can never strike up any good runs after school anyway lol

I haven't had any leaks yet with my T-Tops. I also enjoy them a lot in the summer.

I have T's on my 85 and they leaked a bit, so when I bought my 94, I convinced myself I didn't want the leak and that the car would be more ridgid. Well, no leaks, but no more ridgid body either. Also, I missed seeing the sky (even on rainy days) and the car felt claustrophobic. The 99 has T's and I'll never go back!

Grew up in northern CA and remember those extremely rainy winters we'd have some years ... Still, nothing like the ICE storms we've been having here ... real f-body handling excitement is best had on ICE, would never put away my car for the winter. Have t-tops, no leaks, and wouldn't be without 'em, even though one flew off last summer.
