Re: rubi gone
I just never seemed to get around to putting on the hard top this past
winter in NJ. I bought the dual tops because i needed the hard top in my
old drafty YJ. Mine hangs in the garage from pulleys.

Re: rubi gone
I lived in vancouver for 2 years....and that's how long the hard top stayed
off for. It never got cold enough to worry about.
Now I'm living in a snow belt and plan on use the hard top in the winter!
Luckily my brother has a huge garage and lets me store my top in there!
We get lots of heavy snow /icerain here and I don't think the soft top would
appreciate it.
