How often do you open/close your top?

gr8-wrx · 07-15-2011, 10:51 AM

Our ZR is our first convertible. I'm curious how often members here open/close their top in a week?

We open/close ours about twice a week (will probably be less during winter).

Constantly... 10-15 times a week would not be an unreasonable estimate during the summer.

After a year of use I do not see any signs of wear. There are two dime size spots where the fabric is a bit flattened. Obviously contact points when the top is folded up. Not a problem though, just noticible. Enjoy!

If it is sunny or partly cloudy (i.e. no rain) the top is down. This means it goes up and down every time I get to work or leave work, etc. Probably at least 15-20 times a week. I have noticed if I park facing the wrong direction, the open/close button gets super hot. I wish the button didn't have the chrome surround. Hopefully, my custom windshield screen shows up soon.

About 5-6 a week on a good week.

4-5 times per week, usually just on the weekends.
