Verts - Raining out of nowhere

Dreamer · September 17th, 2008, 11:15 PM

Question!

What do you do if you're on the highway and out of nowhere it starts to rain? Is it possible to return the roof while in motion goin 60+ mph? Wont the draft damage your roof or somethin?

I never had a vert but i want to get one so i need to know these things thanks

Not sure about Mustangs, but my 350Z had a much smaller roof, and you had to have ur foot on the brake at a complete stop or the roof switch was locked out. Some cars you can do like 20 m.p.h. and still raise the roof, but I don't think there's a convertible out there that you can raise or lower the roof at highway speeds, it would tear them apart.

Pull over on the shoulder and stop. Put the top up. Get back on the highway and continue like normal.

you could pull a paul walker and pull the e brake and do a 180 and drive @ 60 mph in reverse while doing a mad tyte drift and put the top up then. or you could just pull over and do it. your choice.
