It sounds like you're driving with the sunroof shut. Don't do that.

It's like when my wife complains about visibility when reversing. ITS A CONVERTIBLE. IT HAS GREAT VISIBILITY. The problem is you've accidentally LEFT THE ROOF ON while driving.

Anyway, Clearly, I love sunroofs, but I do agree with the sentiment of removing of 20kg of weight above your head. It's just a shame they don't make those CF replacements with a centre section that clips in & out, so you can still have the open-top when it's not raining.
Hmm, a manual sunroof might be an interesting project for someone...
