I love my T-tops. I've been using them almost every day now that the weather has been perfect in the 70's. But my car is also black, so they do blend in. I guess part of it is that I always think of Smokey and the Bandit with the T-tops on the black T/A. I guess that's my first attraction to the T/A's.
As far as issues, I have none. It hardly leaks. Sometimes if it rains hard, I'll get a drop or two on my pant leg, but that's it. Not like a downpour like I was expecting before I got the car. I've never once heard a squeak either. Actually there are no squeaks in my car at all. Not bad for 129k miles. But I do have SFC's. I think that helps, A LOT.

HHMMM, I must have really lucked out. My 2000 WS6 has t-tops, no leaks, no noises even when its cold, no sun comes in, I have the matching interior color inserts, and they have never popped out. I hardly take them off but when I do its SSOOO fun. My wife and I will stick our hands out in the summer like its a roller coaster.

I found my SS hardtop by luck. I really wanted one because I have a Jeep Wrangler for winter that leaks and whistles. I am very glad I found the hardtop though, so much simpler, rarer, and just another surface I can wax! You won't be dissapointed.

when i bought my car, these were my preferances in order
1- t-tops
2- black
3- stick shift
4- leather
if i had to, i would rather have a t/a t-top than a ws6 hardtop, even if the ws6 was cheaper.

My car was a hard top for around 4 years from the time I bought it. Every freaking nice day sucked because I couldnt really enjoy it, and let me tell you there are alot of nice days here.
6LE cut my ttops in and my lord I swear I will never buy another hard top, of any type of car if I have the option.
Ive had the ttops for a while now and no regrets. No leaks and its just so nice to be able to take em out on a nice day!
T-Tops for the MFing win.
EDIT: I regret getting a 6 speed though!

I've had both, I love the t-tops especially when working on the interior its much easier to get **** in and out of the car but you don't work on the interior that often, and in summer time the t-tops are awesome but its nothing special enough to where you shouldn't buy a hard top, I loved my hardtop but that was before I ever had t-tops so who knows now id probably miss them.

Just bought my first f-body and t-tops were a must. I have had it for 5 days. Of those 5 days, I have had the t-tops off 4 of them. The other day it rained and there were no leaks. I am sure it will get old taking them on and off and the number will drop to maybe once or twice a week on the weekends, but I like to have the option.
