Only ride with the roof on when it's raining. Yes, that means winter too. Fifteen below and no roof, no windows, powersliding across every parking lot I can get to, that's how we roll in MA!

Mine are out all the time, I don't even put them back in when I park my car, I just leave them off. I see so many T-Top cars every day and I swear I am the ONLY person that has them out. I love them so much, it's my favorite part of the car. I like how everybody has to have T-Tops when they go to buy thier car but NEVER use them.

I love taking mine off when I can, but in Florida -- even on the most sunny days -- you can't trust the sky. It could be almost cloudless and start raining out of nowhere.
But now that the summer is almost over, that all changes, and with the heat dying down, it makes it all the better. I've had them off for 3 days straight now

I take them off as much as I can during the summer. I will go sometimes from wash to wash with them out. Just pull it in the garage with them off and leave later with them off. Nice having a garage. 
Thanks Dad!!
Also someone said they don't understand why people don't drive with there windows down at least. Well I am either one way or the other. The t tops out and windows down so everything is open. Or I want everything closed. That way I can cruise and hide behind my tinted windows where people can't see me. I like to have that sneaky feeling

I have had 3 t-top f-bodies and now I have a hardtop Z. I very rarely miss them but where I live you cant ride with them out in the summer unless you wanna be soaked with sweat when you get to your destination. I would only take them out a few times in spring and a few times in fall. If I wanna ride without a roof I just ride my motorcycle.

I leave mine off from May till August. Cruise the car for a few miles and roll back into the garage and cover it up with the tops off. General rule of thumb is 75 degrees or higher the tops come off. I've had them on for the last 6 weeks though and just stored my car yesterday.

I love mine. I just had them off today actually. I had to run a few quick errands, and it was nice, so I took them off.
I usually don't leave them off when I leave the car, but if I'm just running in and out, or I can see the car from where I'm going, I'll leave them off. Otherwise I put them back in when I get where I'm going.
I don't like them off if it's really hot and sunny, or if I'm on the highway. My favorite time to have them off is at dusk actually, or on a nice fall day with the heat on if it gets a bit chilly.

I hardly ever take mine out, just never really care to.
Oh yeah, and my passenger side window hasn't rolled down in about 2 years. It looks pretty goofy with the t-tops out and window up lol.

I take them off all the time, even if it going to and from work. To make it eaiser, I fold down the back seat and lay them back there, that way its eaiser to take off and put back on... I can even do them both while sitting inside the car(taking them off.) T-tops are awesome.....when the dont leak... I take mine offf when its 50+ outside.

Meh. I get the feeling that the life after this one'll be better anyway.
T-tops come off of the T/A if it isn't raining. The top on my '97Z Vert is down if it isn't raining, weather be damned. I actually drive with a ski-mask and gloves if it's that cold...
