I actually do this semi-regularly with no issue whatsoever. I leave the bolt on rear section in the garage from may-october and keep the 3 front panels with me in the bag jut incase I run into some rain. The flip latches in the front, 2 twist latches in the middle and a twist latch on the...
Hey all - just curious if anyone has seen (or home fabricated) any means of sealing the big gap between the 3rd hard top panel and the cross bar to keep rain from pouring into the back seat.
