Congrats on the new ride. I bought both the soft top and cockpit cover, The top will never go back on the car and I live in the Northeast. The cockpit cover is nice for hot days (keep sun out of the cockpit) & storage to keep dust out. The top does not fit in the trunk and without 2 people you don't want to risk scratching the paint putting it on or taking it off-thoce little holes behind each door jamb are a PIA.

If I were you, I would go over every nut/bolt on the car as I had a few QC issues with my car (which I bought down there as well last year). Tie rod end was loose, t stat housing leaked, brake line (hard lines) cut screws not seated, trailing arm bolted ass'y came loose, Tach fell out of the dash etc, all easy fixes but if not taken care of can pose a safety concern. As most will tell you, all of these cars require a period to "sort out"...IMO the fan should not come on when you are cruising, you could be air bound or something. Mine runs right around 80C in the summer cruising 5th. Check the temp settings on the fan switch too-that was another thing I had to replace early on.

Good luck and enjoy.
