Red Voodoo

The roof on the Z Roadster is great until it isn't. When it fails, it seems like you're screwed unless it's either under warranty, you're made of money, or you have the skillset to fix it yourself.

My prior experience with convertibles involved first and second generation MX-5 Miatas. I loved the fact that I could easily reach behind me to bring the top down or raise it back up. I miss that. It wouldn't be so easy with the Z with everything that's in the way, but I'd have no problem getting out of the car to manually operate it if it was an option.

I've said it before. If my top quits working (which seems inevitable), I'm going to pay what I need to get it under the tonneau cover and just keep it that way. It's almost paid for, and it's not my daily driver, so I can avoid getting wet. It's too bad that this model car has had this common flaw.
