Question Anyone read the manual yet?

Those of you lucky buggers who've had the loaners - have you managed to rag yourselves out of the drivers seat and had a look at the manual? Does anyone know if there's any temperature restriction on when you can put the roof down?

My first soft top, MX5, there wasn't one (car had glass rear screen) although this was a manual roof and you had to 'help' it sometimes when really cold
My Boxster (plastic screen, which folded) you weren't meant to put the roof down in temps < 5C incase the screen cracked, but they've continued this recommendation even though the newer ones have glass (obviously not folding) screens.

One of the great joys of owning a soft top are those clear frosty days blasting around with the roof down, thich jumper et al. That's why they invented heated seats.

I get so frustrated by people driving round with their roofs up - mine's down in anything less than cyclone conditions.....

Cant see why as it's got a glass window and canvas (not vinyl) roof, so there shouldnt be an issue.
