Yep, that's why I take off my hard doors with the top, and get rollup
windows with the top and hard doors on.

I really prefer the full doors for most of the time. Still, if I had a
garage to store stuff, I'd look for a set of half-doors cheap from
various vendors or junkyards, so I can swap them in during the summer...
But Maryland is known for sudden weather changes, so it's nice having
something up in case I'm caught.

Quadratech is selling plastic half doors now. They look light and cheap.
They also have plastic bikini tops too.

I wonder if they take plastic ;^)
