Default Top Down Issues

Well I decided to leave the top off to go to work this morning. Took everything of value out included the owners manual! The weather has been so great here the last couple of days I just have to do it! Hope nothing bad happens.

Should be fine, espcially if you don't need to use public parking in an urban area. I had my top off all last summer.

yep, I never leave anything of value in plain sight even with the top up. Heck, if I lock my keys in, I just unzip a window myself

Yeah no kidding. My thermometer read 35 on the way in yesterday AM around 5AM Good thing I keep a winter hat in the glove box My wife thinks I'm a fool - I guess it's a Jeep thing !!! As far as the OP goes - good move taking things of value out... you should be fine leaving the top down... Enjoy

My top stays off almost all year. I put the safari bikini on when it is rainy. Water still gets in but it keeps the seats and dash dry. I have removed all of my carpet. I also have a deck cover.
