Nothing but cabs for my toys since 1965, despite living in MN. I may get a coupe when I get old.

I'm 75 and I don't think I'll ever get that old.

Not me! With a cab you can have your nurse lower you into the car using one of those transfer slings. You can't do that with coupes.

I never would have considered a Porsche cab had they not had glass rear windows. Visibility is important to me. I absolutely love having a cabriolet. You get to smell the outside. With a coupe buttoned up and the charcoal filter engaged, you are in a cocoon and totally miss the outdoors. With the top down, I can smell the newly mowed hay and the lilacs. To extend my season and the life of my roof I also ordered the hardtop. It's handy to keep my canvas top from being dirty from California brushfire ash, etc.

I had the same with my 09 and it too bugged me, but I have just used the WD40 tip and its gone! Fantastic tip thank you.
