My vert top is falling apart, so i went to the 99cent store for a cheap fix = six bucks. no more worrys rain or shine, i m just going to leave the top cover down all the times

 

I'm lost for words. What do you plan on doing if you're out in it and you get caught in rain?

 

Some people just shouldn't own a Z. That tarp will ruin both the interior and the paint if left on the car. And, it really won't keep the interior dry.

 

nobody ever accused him of being smart...... he will learn the hard (expensive) way

 

 

WTF!? so many smart azz comments... Oh well, to each of his own.

Some people are freaking a n a l on this board...

 

The only time I ever used my top was once in a while just to see if it still worked. When it started needing help I put it down and left it down, about 1 1/2 years ago. I have 2 emergency tarps in the trunk in case I ever get caught in the rain but I never drive this car if there is a chance of rain and it lives in a nice garage. I can't really get into this car when the top is up so it stays down and I plan to remove the entire top mechanism to save weight . If it might rain we take my Mustang. My 04 just turned 33,000 miles and mostly looks like a new car. If you park outside this is not a good idea and should only be for emergencies. If you are going to do this a lot get something that won't scratch your paint, your car looks nice.

 

...... or take pride in caring for their cars

Good job on your mod, fella

 

Nasty tear and glue residue.



I put forth a bit more effort on mine, but costs less than yours. lol $3 marine grade canvas and wife's sewing machine.

 

^^^ that is a much better example of a quick fix! A convertible is meant to be enjoyed with the top down, but I don't think I could ever chuck a tarp on my car every time I think it's going to rain. Emergencies, fine. Solution, HELL NO!
