Every convertible I've had has leaked, except this Roadster. But to put that into perspective, I've only had the hood up once in four years on the way to the MOT on a wet day. That was over 30 miles and it didn't leak. It's also true that I have a few neoprene mods on the screen frame which might help. I prefer the hood down, even in the rain (providing it's not too bad), and the half tonneau protects the co pilots seat. MrsW would not enjoy wet motoring, and yet to see mist on the inside of the screen and water dripping from the top of the screen onto the tonneau cover is a fantastic experience. Yes I'm a bit odd, and I don't chose to set off like that in the wet, but sometimes it just starts to rain. I had one Midget which leaked profusely with the hardtop fitted - think a wet strip across the thighs, but hardly leaked at all with the soft top fitted.
I'm also prepared to contemplate an Elise, even though I know it will leak, and the paint will probably bubble at some stage, because my desire exceeds those shortcomings. The one thing that might have stopped me buying a Roadster was the sump clearance, which I was unaware of at the time.
And let's face it, with my OCD tendencies I like things perfect, but nothing is ever perfect, and the worst leaks I've had have been in tin tops - e.g. BGT, Dolomite, Metro. BL = Big Leaks.
