George,

Yes I understand. 

I had to put the top up to drive to my daughter's wedding and it was only the 
2nd time I had it up since the restoration was completed. 

I do admit it is a chore but it is a tad easier than the 3.

I do have it adjusted quite nice and on the 50 mile ride not 1 drop of water 
in the interior. The first and I hope the last time I have to drive in the 
rain.

The 4 top does seal a bit better than the 3. Driest I have ever been in a LBC 
in a driving rain storm.

It is an AMCO top and with all those top snaps and hooks + the overlap on the 
front bow creates a real snug fit even at 60+ MPH.

ALso lots of work putting it down and hiding it under the interior. Similar to 
the 3 with the separate hood stick cover but still easier, only 6 side snaps 
+ the 4 on the carpet.

All part of the fun of LBC ownership.

Bob
