I take mine off each time just because at least to me, they look pretty
lame when the top is off. I just think the Jeep looks better without
the door surrounds when the top is off. :)

In addition to all that, they are easy to remove. If it ain't nailed
down, someone will steal it...if for no other reason than to pitch 'em
over the nearest fence.

I usually leave them on so I can get the top up faster unless I am using the
bikini top, in which case they need to be removed by design. Also if I take
them off and I need to put up the top I need to have them with me, and I
don't really have enough room for my stuff anyway....
Sometimes I even leave them on with the doors off, but usually I run with
the bikini top on with the doors off, unless I take the doors off really
fast and need to get going with just putting on the mirror.
