I agree. I've decided against doing DE/PDX in a car without a cage after the fatality at Summit Point. I know it's unlikely, but driving anywhere near the limit can have serious consequences.

Have you ever sealed the top fabric? I've had it happen once or twice when it's been wet and humid for several days. 'vert tops aren't impermeable like a steel top, they do "breathe" a bit.

Yup, I've done this many times with my Toyota 4x4, and still have the factory CV's at 190,000 miles. Just be sure to thoroughly clean out all of the old grease first.
