As you mention the hard top might leak a bit - the same with a soft top.
What I really want is a "hat" for my car. just to go over the roof and
windows - just to be on the safe side. Not the full cover - as in truth it
seems too much trouble to put on and take off. I wouldnt want to leave the
car over a weekend with hard rain and snow - only to come back and find the
interior soaking wet.
