Fun weekend!! and a question to you experts...

Wow! Thanks to all of you! I've been busy (driving of course)! I LOVE this thing. And - the funniest thing is my husband who made complete fun of me for wanting a Smart - is now informing me that HE is buying HIS OWN in the Spring!
I got a Cabriolet - black w/ Silver - loaded and it's more fun than I could imagine. It's funny to see people stare - I suppose that could get annoying? As long as no one leaves any fingerprints on it!
There is a clicking sound on the driver's side roof when I go over any bumps though. Do you all thing that's just because it's new???

I get stares every so often when I am in my little car. I sometimes get them when I exit my little vehicle; it is like they did not expect such a larger person to exit such a little car. I am six feet tall and weigh three hundred thirty pounds. I had arrived home and this person had gone behind me. I could see her face. Her eyes went wide went I exited the vehicle. I have the Pure with a solid roof. I do not get a clicking sound from the passenger side. I have had mine since March 2008.

Since you have a cabrio, you may just want to check and see if the cloth top is fully covering the seals. if that makes any sense.

I had a really odd problem that sounded like something was loose in my dash, but only at high speeds. It ended up being a tiny hole on the back part of the soft top, where the cloth part had "separated" from the seal. I just had to pull it back over the seal and all is good.
