I took mine off once and decided I don't need to do it again.

I take mine off once and awhile...I prefer the look of the coupe with the top on though.

I was reluctant the first time as I was not sure what I was in for and was a bit fearful I would cause the dreaded roof popping. But it was easy to remove and replace, and no roof popping afterwards. I really enjoy cruising with the roof off.

I took mine off once, it was neat, I probably will do it again to dress the rubber seals since mine seem to be getting stiff.

I love going topless - my wife hates it - so if she is not with me - it's off - the weather is now perfect for the top off here in Louisiana.

Default Never take it off.

I have a coupe with a transparent top, and it stays on, fulltime. I got it, because I like the look. -- --

YES

since it takes less than 15 seconds to remove/reinstall it makes for a great option here in Florida

Top comes off every weekend. It is easy, even for this 66 year old. I am happy to look up and see sky not grass.

I haven't yet (unbelievable) for the same reason above. I'm sure that when I do, I'll say why'd I wait.
