If its not raining, then I understand its required by law to get the roof down!

One would be correct for heated seats! Though I don't have a heated steering wheel as much as I would like one. Had to wear gloves like a some sort of common convertibler.

Me too... (no heated steering wheel..) the only thing that worries me is the temperature - I believe you're not supposed to put the roof down at low temperatures.. say < 5 deg C... Have you see that advice?

That would make sense I guess, frozen connectors could burn something out. Can't say I've seen the advice though. Can't say I've looked for it either haha.

I would imagine that you may do the roof seals damage

How do you freeze a connector, then? Cause a short with frozen condensation that melts, perhaps, but actually freeze the connector? Nah. :)

Could it be something to do with the hydraulics needed to raise and lower the roof?
