Seriously. What does it do with rain? When the top is down it is sealed. When
the top is up it,... well really. What can it do but look cute?
Not arguing. Genuinely curious.

It is designed for the rain.

Do you remember seeing old pictures of Westies with the top up and they had
that huge white fringe going across the front on top?
That fringe is cheap and available but nobody ever seems to replace it.
I am just wondering- Do you suppose it serves a purpose?
I mean, it is cute and all, but those Germans were not easily distracted by
aesthetics. Every little thing served at least one purpose.
I am wondering if it helps insulate against drafts while driving.
As we all know, on cold days, every little bit of draft sealing helps. (As
Gawd is my witness, I will one day invent a simple devise that will clip onto
the the air vents at each end of the dash to seal them off during winter
months!)
