MAF Clean!
 
But this is what resulted after raising the roof. I guess 40f was not warm enough to do the job. (top is 10+ yrs old). Check this out http://home.comcast.net/~rgstlouis/maf.jpg

Wow, that is a crack. I had some small cracks in my top and as a result replaced it with a Gahh Glass window top. Cant go wrong there. In fact I just lowered it yesterday for the first time ever and its great. View out the rear window is compromised somewhat but I wasnt concerned about that. Good luck with the repairs.

Someone hasn't read their owner's manual.

I did the same thing last spring. It was 50+ outside, but only 40 in the garage.

For what it's worth, I submitted a claim to my insurer and they paid it under the Comprehensive coverage. I now have a great GAHH top with a glass window and it cost me $500 to cover the deductible.

Yeah, seems anything under 50 degrees and you have to be careful about the rear soft window. Or if your top is older than 4-5 years and that rear window has started to dry out.

Top on mine is only about 2 years old. Once it starts showing it's age, I'll get the GAHH top for sure. Sort of done with the soft window thing.

hmmm... comprehensive claim for a new top based on the window cracking due to opening it in too cold of temps... you can claim teh cold temp caused it... and it's not wear and tear... :)


did htey give you flak about that claim?
