Rain proof ragtop.

Roadtripped 1300 miles this past weekend and it was raining off and on most of the trip back. Found out that when you're doing 70+ that it can rain quite hard without a drop getting in your car. (never put the top up the whole trip) As an experiment I taped a napkin to the cooler in the back seat so the tiniest drop would show up. And nothing.

The only water I saw in the really hard rain was the windshield runoff.
Thanks again Toyota! LOVE THIS CAR!

This is true, but you would have been in a world of trouble if there was an accident that stopped traffic :D You would have ben REALLY wet!

Seriously, it does work, but you can slow down too much.
