Mike installed a hard top on his B&B about 18 months ago and has not taken it off. He drives every day that it does not rain.
Every day
No side curtains. He does have wind wings which help keep the wind off your right ear.
Coach Mike used a Ape hard top on his FFR and his Hurricane for several years. He put it on in the fall and removed it in the spring. He too drives year round.
Note added: he has curtains but does not use them.
