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.
