i read in the manual not to close the hood when wet- a bit diificult in the UK - we have a great day today - but because the car has been out overnight and all frostie and then the road is in shade the hood stays wet.

how do other UK owners deal with this ?????
what sort of probelms result in having a wet hood down all day ??[/align]

are you talking about the convertible top of the hood as in the nose of the car hood?

oh I see...I'm guessing it is because it'll make the area under the tonneau damp and it'll cause all sorts of smells....plus wet = heavy = more stress on the hydraulics...
