    Vert owners, driving with windows down ??

    Do you run with your windows down at highway speeds ? I generally open mine no more than 3-4 inches and just the fronts at that. Once and a while I forget they are all the way down when getting on the entrance ramp and get'um up in a hurry. Seems like the canvas/rear window wasnt designed to handle the "turbulence".

      Top down, windows up, wind screen up makes for comfortable highway driving and keeps the wife happy. When I'm alone I switch it up a bit.

          Top down with all windows down. Drivers window up about an inch so I don't get the seat belt slap on my shoulder or elbow out the window.

          I ride with my top up with windows down with no worries of my top moving.

            top down, all windows all the way down. arm resting on the door for posing, and to keep the seat belt flap at bay.

              Thought I was the only one with that problem haha.

              Normally on nice days 80+ Top down all windows down and windscreen up, if I have a female passenger its top down, all windows up and windscreen to keep the complaining down. Lol

                With my old top I had to keep the wind inside the car under control or it seemed like the top was self destructing. With the new top there are no problems!

                  I drive top up I have no issues with all windows down. But I never really drive with the top up, it is ALWAYS down unless raining. It was that way till the first snow drop. Also it has a hardtop as of early summer, so in the fall if it was brisk the hardtop went on and was like a normal coupe.

                  Also soft tops are fucking ugly, they only look good with the top down and ALL windows with it or a hardtop.

                      I kinda like the seatbelt flap, if it wasn't noisy I'd let it slap the shit out of my shoulder all day long.

                      But yeah....top down windows down, whenever remotely possible. My rear windows rattle a little bit so I put them up 1/2" or so sometimes. Gotta get in there and try to adjust that, will do it when I swap to black door panels in the spring.

                        Pretty sure the OP was asking about window position with the top UP. Reading comprehension FTW. Been too long since I had my vert so I don't remember.

                            Seat belt flap is just the car applauding you because you drive a 'vert and are inherently awesome.

                            Top down, all the time, any time. If you drive fast enough the rain just skips over the car.
