Skip straight to the quesiton and avoid the ramble --> ***

Using the great Mr Gosling's instructions, the removal of hardtop and
fitting of soft was easy peasy.

However I should have followed MHM's advice - and waited a little longer
- as the drive back to college yesterday was possibly the worst weather
I have ever driven in, in the spit. No sooner had I put on the soft top
- the weather got bad.

It was seriously raining - the type of rain where you try and prod the
wiper stork up - because the fastest setting feels like it's on slow -
or just incase your car happens to have a third warp speed setting. The
type of rain where driving consists of following the 2 red lights in
front.

It was also very very windy - the type of wind that has you wondering if
the soft top could possibly work as a kite and make your Spit really
fly.

However my radio was tuned to a station which was playing 80's
"classics" - which had a rather surreal feel to it. And I've found the
acoustics are far better with the soft top.


*** But my question is - where do the windows go? - surely the soft top
doesnt just curl around and go inside? If it goes on the outside then
you can't get out with the windows up? I feel Im missing something
here.....
