Do you put top up when parking at the grocery store, etc?

Never leave the top down since. Birds love the opportunity. They do practice runs on my driveway, just waiting for the chance to bomb Punkin with her top down.

And here's a cpl photos of Carmen being bombed. Had to leave her outside one night and the birds took advantage.

This is a risk with convertibles. I'm pretty sure there are some forum members that have been bombed while driving with the top down. One reason I usually wear a hat when the top is down.

I've actually left mine with the top down all day in my underground parking spot downtown Toronto, no issues (so far)

I live in a small coastal town and leave mine down with a red clip. The worst thing to worry about is the sea gulls.
