I've driven a short distance with rain and only the bikini top on. Of course some water came in through the back windows, but really nothing too bad considering. A quick wipe down on those plastic parts near the seat belt holder and that was about it.

Marine Blue yes please feel free to add it to your signature. Although I don't know who to thank for it myself. Cheers, Mark

I hate to rain on the thread.

But I recently had an anomaly with my top. The seal in the front, where the carbon fiber meets the windshield developed a leak. On the driver's side, instead of channeling water down the outside of the window, it started channeling water INSIDE the window.

But here's the shocking part...when I took it to the dealer, the first thing out of their mouth was that PCNA does not consider the Spyder Top to be rain worthy and therefore does not generally CPO any issues with the top letting water in! WTF??

I told them that I found that answer unacceptable. The top was not working as designed or delivered, fix it. At this time they are going to replace the seal, which I assume will remedy the issue. Hopefully this is just one guy at one dealership, and not truly a PCNA official stance, but I thought I would warn you, just in case your top develops an issue.

The only small issue I have is the driver window does not make as perfect a seal as the passenger's side. It's more a noise issue than any leak so I live with it. I have tried to cheat the top left a little on the bar and that took most of it out but I agree that PCNA saying no coverage is "not acceptable".

I'd try a different dealership if they continue to give you crap.
