Once I got there I took the hard top off to enjoy the sun for a few months. I felt pretty sorry for the poor thing because I couldn't spend the time to keep it clean and just decided to say fu@k it after the first couple weeks. I enjoyed the sun too much too put the doors and top back on though. I ended up having it professionally cleaned once I got home. The dust was everywhere. Inside all the A/C vents, speaker grills, and every nook and cranny you could think of. I'm sure it took the bloke all day long with a box of cotton swabs to make it shine again. With the dirt on the roads around here I'm sure a convertible would end up the same way. Then you'll either spend a day every week cleaning it, paying someone else to do it, or just quit putting the top down. Just my .02
