[QUOTE="thomas91169, post: 9863351, member: 40530"] sure its not just ballooning due to top design/aerodynamics? from what i can tell seeing a buttload of convertibles on the freeway, is certain makes/models must use a shittier vert system that allows ballooning like you see. Other cars dont have this problem. My top is from 1998 and doesnt balloon, nor has any Spyder top ive seen. Every mustang, camaro and some sebrings (not all) do it on every car. I think its just bad design and aerodynamics sucking the top up as wind travels over the roof. +1 on taping off like this. Any protectant is a PITA to clean off once it hits windows/body. Ive been using the Kiwi Canvas protectant/waterproofing stuff with great results (better than RaggTopp). My butyl core on the top has degraded to the point that without the waterproofing; rain soaks the entire top and drips through. Driving through rainstorms at times; i might as well leave the top down. [/QUOTE]
