Advice for first-time convertible owner?

+1000 on the sunblock.
+1000 on keeping a hat with you. In my area, I get stuck for trains often and you are fine when you are moving around, but on a hot sunny day when you get stuck for a train, you can really feel the heat on your dome.

And it does suck that you have to keep your fingers out of your nose.

Other than that, it's pretty amazing and I can't see any reason why anybody would not not own a convertible. Unless you are a habitual nose picker I guess.

Concerning bird droppings, I'm on the fence on whether it it easier to clean from the seats or the top. I've had some messes both ways.

The droppings are a concern. The hardened projectiles dropped from 60 feet are worse.

I live and work directly on the water, so the seagulls are as thick as mosquitos. One of their primary food sources, other than your picnic lunch, are clams that they dig up on the beach.

Guess how they open the clams.

You can make a fortune here with a paintless dent repair business. I may actually be better off with my soft top!

Since you will have a case of constant Permagrin keep your head inside the car, while driving, so you don't get bugs on your teeth.
