Cabriolets

Mr. M · 03-10-2007, 09:58 AM

I have always wondered - in my wildest imaginations - what would happen to those people who have Cabriolets that don't have automated roofs... When it rains, and they are stuck in traffic? Wouldn't the interior of their cars be destroyed? Do Cabriolets have more durable interiors than their Coupe counterparts? I've never heard of any instances of such a thing happening though... What about you guys?

It's because of Singapore's unfortunate weather that Cabriolets don't do really well here. I'd love to own a LP640 Roadster but it's just too impractical.

I know that the Rolls-Royce Phantom drophead has an all-weather interior.

I don't know that!! Thanks for these information FasterHigherBetter!
I only know, that BMW Individual offer special leather seats for the 6-series Convertible with SunReflective Technology!

That's interesting... Does all-weather mean the instrumentation, electronics and even i-Drive won't be damaged by rain?
