Last week, the day I bought Charlotte (2017 classica) was a perfect day, weather-wise, for a convertible. However since then, she has been banished to the garage to wait out the rainy weather. Yesterday I simply couldn't wait any longer and decided to take my chances taking her out for a 90 minute road trip to visit my mother. It was dry enough when I left that I opened the top. About half-way it started to rain, at times pretty heavily. I was on the freeway and didn't want to pull over so I left the top down. I was surprised to find that I didn't feel the rain at all and actually found it quite refreshing!
I am wondering if there are any risks of doing this-- primarily I'm concerned about water getting into the compartment where the top folds down. Is there any reason I shouldn't take her out, top down, in a rainstorm?
