Interesting comment re the wife. Personally, I like either the hardtop or no top. Of course, the softtop is required for sudden rains etc, but I think the soft top looks out of place and the plastic backlight, tho mine has no crazing, is more difficult to see out of than glass (or nothing!)

But I wanted to let you knolw that I got another answer from an owner who said he had an interior guy come out, and he repaired the loose area by using a heat gun and stretching the headliner enough to refit it properly.

Thanks for your contribution to knowledge.
