You're not disagreeing - you're agreeing! Flaps on the inside, window
on the outside.

True - but there is a tiny gap at the very top corner of the window,
where the corners of the door seal, soft-top and window meet, which is
where water seems to come in (at least on Carly).

I've never tried this - I would have thought that although it would help
prevent water coming in, it would get *very* drafty, given that there
would be nothing holding the edges of the soft-top in place. And of
course, you'd want to remember that you'd done this before you tried to
open the door with the window wound up...
