T-Tops or Convertable???
 
I need to know pro's and cons of both. Found 2 T/A's for the same price. Both Royal blue metallic. One is a convertable, one has t tops. Any info would be great.

Based on how annoying my t-tops leaking today were, I would go with either a hardtop or a convertable, t-tops suk. They rattle in the cold, leak in the rain and birds can still crap in the car if you leave them off! :nod:

chicks dig convertibles

LTb1ow 01-25-2010 09:30 PM

Verts are gay and stalkers ride in them.

Ttops leak as pointed out.

Hardtops are FTW.

T-tops:
Pros
-chicks also dig
-best off both worlds
-looks better IMO
-lighter (i think)
-handles better (just made up) lool (but it makes sense)
-uhmmm can look thru it like a window? (chicks dig that) lol
-just plain retro cool
Cons:
-almost all leak dont care what u say (even a little)
-annoying to put on and take off
-can get very hot in summer when trying to take on and put off
-thats it

VERT
PROS:
-looks rad with top down
-chicks dig
-thats it.
Cons:
-never had one so dont read this so seriously
-ugly with top up
-can tear
-can get stained/dirty
-more moving parts to break
-ugly coolors like tan
-uhmmm more vonorable to theft? (can just cut thru?)
-thats all it got

:D

Well, i'm in a hard top bird now so anything is better then this heat trap

Czop418 01-25-2010 09:41 PM

99.8 Percent leak you just have to find where the water goes. My t-tops arent like a waterfall like other people says about there's , but after a storm if you pull up the bucket seat you find that my carpet is a lil damp.

KirkEvil 01-25-2010 09:49 PM

you should be looking at the pros and cons of the condition of the two cars in question.


then buy the one with t tops.

B4C 01-25-2010 09:49 PM

My windows leak not my t-tops I need to adjust them...you remember when I had the vert...Pure awosomeness!!! Well other than the lake in the back seat from the top drain that was clogged with pine needles. That top was down at all times no need for a/c, but I do like the t-tops as well they are nice you cant go wrong with either lol

Adam1978 01-25-2010 09:51 PM

I would go T-Tops, verts have a lot of noise when driving down the highway with the top up, same with the top down but duh lol,
Although as you saw t-tops leak, however they are just so cool! Plus I believe the body is more rigid

Czop418 01-25-2010 09:54 PM

Yea I agree with Kirk Evil. You should really doing more research about the car. If you could post up the ads for the both of them.

I'm not a fan of convertables at all. I'd take t-tops over anything, hardtop second, and I wouldnt buy a convertable. They just look akward compared to the smooth look of a hardtop. Get a convertable with some wear and it will leak worse than t-tops. The rattling would be annoying too.

Anti_Rice_Guy 01-25-2010 10:02 PM

I'd take more into account than the type of top it has on it, for one thing.

That aside, if they were in the same condition.....*points to sig*

Unless you're going to have a biased race car where weight and rigidity really matters, I would go convertible.

The 95 is still on it's original top, not a single leak, ever. Can't say the same for our old t-top'd 92 Formula back when it was only 6 years old. Treat the top once in a while, and you're set. Top down cruising is unlike any other, whether or not you're trying to pick up chicks. T-tops are just convertible wannabes but don't have the balls to fully get one :lol:

Any other specific questions about convertibles you have, fire away. Also important to note...if you forget to latch a t-top it flies off and goes bye bye, possibly hitting your car or other cars. Convertibles don't have this issue, it simply goes back where it belongs if you don't latch it :wink:

The convertibles weigh more cost more and have more parts to fail. Nj is a 4 season state go with hard or t-top if its a dd.

BigRocsFirebird 01-25-2010 10:17 PM

knock on wood.. my t-tops don't leak. IMO t-tops are better on some cars than verts but hey, that's just me
