If its clean and dry, I leave mine down for about a week at a time. The biggest issue is they tend to shrink when not up. So its always a pain stretching and clipping it shut after being down for more than a day or two. The new top on my 4 speed had to be put up every day or I couldn't get it shut. I can usually get the boot on or off in a couple of minutes. Maybe you just need a little more practice. I know some members here leave theirs down all summer. Mine would never shut if I did that.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure. I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe. 1968 400 convertible (Scarlet) 1976 T/A - 455 LE (No Burt) 1976 T/A New baby, starting full restoration. 1968 350 - 4 speed 'vert - 400 clone (the Beast!) 1968 350 convertible - Wife's car now- 400 clone (Aleutian Blue) (Blue Angel) 2008 Durango - DD 2008 GXP - New one from NH is AWESOME! 2017 Durango Citadel - Modern is nice!
