Whatever your final choice, it is still worth carrying a towel in the car!
And if you go the old style hood route, a golfing umbrella is essential - it will cover very nearly the whole cockpit (or Management - your choice) while you erect the hood. See also: http://www.towelday.org

Seriously if you are buying an umbrella don't buy a golf one, but get an aerodynamic Senz umbrella good for up to 100 kph (and we've taken ours to much higher speeds!). Saves putting up the hood...

I did see the red one.........
They are very reasonably priced as well. Mind you I don't want MrsW doing a Mary Poppins out of the passenger seat at speed on the motorway...........
Maybe for a Christmas present (to myself).

With the easy up hood, from what I have seen, it is easier to fit sun visors as there is provision on the windscreen top rail. I have a trad type hood and I do find not having sun visors a bit of a problem. Am I missing a point?

Studded screen frames now have fittings for visors. Adrian - beige interior is an absolute nono.
