my hard top is way better,,, in rainy conditions it dont leak. seems like i did read something that said they were a bit stronger. in a wreck the car will most likely be twisting and rolling at the same time. at least the couple i have been in were.

From reading this article, it seems the t tops are worthy only when combined with seat belts?

Hmmm, 2 guys in the front seat and the police don't know which one was driving? They should do DNA testing on the poop stains. lol

My ttops still have the original seals from 01 and don't leak. Not to mention ttop or hard top most of your support in a rollover is going to come from the support between the roof and hatch, whatever the hell it's called anyway.
