I did tow with the canvas up - but that's what the mfg says is proper
if the side Eisenglass windows are attached. that keeps the wind out
and they say that's just fine. I haven't yet had the top down at all!

Rag top cars have gone 150 or more. Canvas is canvas, but boats often
have tops with **** frames.

I remember as a small kid riding in the back seat of a 50s vintage Ford
Victoria convertible with my godparents. We were cruising along (don't
know how fast) and I asked them how the top went down. Before my god father
could stop her, my god mother flipped down her visor, grabbed the lock for
the top on her side and said, "You just pull these down", as she pulled it.
The top lifted on that side, the air caught the top and flipped it straight
up. The driver's side lock ripped the screws right out.
