GabsOlds Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Not a good time for it yet. Just wait another month. The vinyl actually shrinks in the cold. I've seen the top actually rip when I raised it too late in the evening last spring.Be patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmangrimes Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 My teenage son and I drive my convertible every day year-round, but we don't drop the top until it's warmer, probably May. I just took the winter tires/wheels off this weekend. I also just replaced the old broken weak fog lights with sealed LEDs, I'll put up a separate post about it later with pictures and details. My lenses were broken from rocks, so instead of just putting in LED bulbs I replaced the whole thing. I had to modify the fog light mounting brackets a bit, but it seems secure and fits in the opening pretty good. It looks really bright in the garage, but I haven't even driven it at night yet to test it. I'm also replacing my top in two weeks, and upgrading to lip tails and spoiler next week. And I put on new rear brakes this weekend, too. I'm really looking forward to the first top-down cruise, to help me feel better about all the time & money I'm putting into mine. primergray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennyb13126 Posted March 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 i'd be driving mine more in the winter, but now that the kids are driving i had to make room in the garage by putting in in sideways, so its a chore to get it out, and I don't want it to see the salt we have up here anyway. i wished i lived in an areaa where i could drive it year round...maybe when i retire. until then it jjust makes for a long winter...thanks for the replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
