Perks of owning a hardtop convertible
It’s quite natural that some of us have an innate desire to own a hardtop convertible car. However, on very many occasions, the benefits of owning a convertible car can go unnoticed. A hardtop convertible car is the one without a soft fabric or cloth top and has a rigid, movable top cover. It gives you both the joy of having a hardtop car and the advantage of owning a standard coupe car all at once.
Better security
While most of the new generation cars are ideal for features like electronic keys and immobilizers, in real life, they are a nothing more than a testimony of easy theft. Any convertible car can be stolen, but a hardtop is the best way to make your car more inconvenient to break into than the other cars around, making it a less desirable target to thieves. A fabric top car can easily be punctured with a knife or a screwdriver, enabling easy entry for the thieves. However, the hardtop convertible is much more resistant to these simple methods of entry.
Less noisy
When you’re driving a convertible flying down the road, the wind might be enveloping your tresses, but it is also making a racket. In fact, one of the serious troubles of a convertible car is the forceful noise of the wind while driving on the road on a windy day or even any calm day with the wind hitting you with force. The cloth top will ruffle against the wind at high speed, and you can even hear the sound of the rain forcefully hitting the sheet louder, as it hits the thin soft top. What’s more is that if you happen to be driving down the highway or even at the speed with which you’d hit the highway, then the outside noise can easily deafen you. Hardtops solve this issue by reducing the road noise and decibel levels due to its rigid structure, as well as give you the satisfaction of owning a convertible car.
More durable
Most of the soft top convertible cars feature windows made of plastic or a flexible vinyl. These windows aren’t scratch resistant and are also tend to face oxidation and might even get discolored. Moreover, the cloth top is also vulnerable to ripping and creasing caused by the strong sun, bad weather such as rain and hail, as well as unprofessional storage. The hard top is made up of strong glass window panels or metal which is not flexible. It is generally coated with a typical automotive paint that protects the material from water and sun, thus providing better durability.
