Re: still at a dilmmea what to do with Rubi soft top ?
 

I just throw them in the rear cargo area (have the rear seat removed
typically). Like someone else said, they are at no more at risk than
they are when the soft top is 'up'. I've scrambled outside to put the
top up several times for sudden rainstorms. Other times, I've missed
the opportunity and the Jeep was soaked. Oh well. :)
