When the top is up your allround visibility is much reduced . With no sidescreens fitted there is not much protection from the elements anyway.With this in mind although I do have a good used top and irons I have not fitted them . I use the car on sunny model A days and the windshield gives good shielding for the front seat passenger and driver . It was used for my nieces wedding and the bridesmaids were in the back and had their new hair do slightly tousled !!! I doubt that I will bother to put the top on I think the car looks well better without the bulky folded down top . Sadly you will have to pull things apart to repair the post . I have a pic somewhere but someone will have one of the area with no upholstery .
