That's the way my Mustang was too.

I was only able to drive my car for about a month, and it was too cold to have the tops off alot, but I did once, and loved it! It was a change, because I'm used to either a hardtop, or a vert.

T-Tops! I have sometimes wished I had convertable instead simply because when it's nice outside I like to have the top open, but it sucks to put the tops on and off if you are running errands or making frequents stops. However, they look great and you don't have to have that dinky vert spoiler. the TA has.

I like the t-tops, gives you some of the rigidity/tight seal of hard top, but also some of the open air of a vert.

The only thing I don't like is they can be a pain to put on/off.

I like all three setups, they each have advantages and disadvantages. I have a hardtop because the car it came on was exactly what I was looking for. July 04 I find a stripper z28 with 9500 old man miles and was always garaged. I would've bought that car had it been a vert or a t-top car.
