top down without bonnet
Question: When I bought my 993 Cab, the dealer told me to be careful driving with the top down and NO bonnet covering the top. He said that driving too fast will ruin the headliner.
So, my question is this: What is that magic speed where I can safely drive without damaging the headliner?

My liner is original and is showing wear from driving sans bonnet. Around the window I am seing some threads that need to be clipped, also a small tear on the drivers side near the rear window to sew. I am in no real hurry to replace the headliner as it will do very little to my enjoyment of the car. I have decided that I must ask myself the question before removing the top....do I want to bonnet or not? If I cannot answer yes....I ride with the top up......
I would not feel this way if the threads were not showing now or maybe if I could not see them in the R/V mirror....

I'll but it on if I'm planning on going 40-50 for any length of time. Below that, the wind doesn't whip it around much and the are usually shorter so it doesn't get bleached by the sun much.
I put in on less than I used to but still think it's good insurance.
