The only convertible I've ever owned that is completely watertight is a BMW Mini. All my others have leaked a bit, and some much more than a bit. My 2005 roadster only leaks a tiny bit now I've "adjusted" things (which I enjoyed). I've been informed that the big manufacturers are moving away from the folding multijointed hard top things as they all leak like mad 3 years down the line.
By the way, Morgans have the best heaters of any car I've ever had. I love them whilst accepting that the factory don't always respond well (I had gearbox probs with a 4/4 that they did the "They all sound like that" to) and I suppose if I'd spent £100T I'd be more upset about the hood being simplistic. I remember being with a dealer at the Motor Show in 2006 when he tackled one of the directors about Aero hoods which were making the dealer's customers ask for refunds. The director's response was "we sell dreams" which I thought was inappropriate but even so I think my car is well made, well painted and makes me feel like no other car can. I never feel jealous of modern cars - even Astons - as I know they all want mine really. I've parked my Mog in a row of supercars and come back to find everyone round mine.......and it's still the only car I've ever owned in which I try and find longer routes to play longer. I pat it in the garage. I basically LOVE the thing. How do you price that? Even if the factory play on that - can you blame them?
