As a relatively new owner of a roadster there are a couple of issues that I'd like to get advice on.
1. When I drive with the roof down and go over a bump I find that the roof lifts and clatters back down and the sound comes from the passenger side. This seems to be because it locks down on the driver's side only. Should it be locking down on both sides or is the locking mechanism on one side only?
2. I'm happy with the overall roadholding and suspension but find that the car does seem to tramline badly on bad roads. From what I hear and read in reviews this is a standard feature of the car but I'm wondering if there is any brand of tyre that helps to minimise this effect. My tyre size is
205/45/R17 and it's currently wearing Bridgestone Potenza tyres. I should say that outright roadholding and cornering on the limit is not my highest priority; I'd trade it for a wee bit more control on bad roads.
