He informed me that on these long hauls, fluid and oil leaks can develop from the cars riding on top and spill on the vehicles underneath. In addition, the cars on the lower level are more exposed to flying road debris.
He said that paying a little extra would be a wise investment and help to protect the ragtop's fabric and the paint on my MB and I took his advise.  |
Totally agree! Many years ago my son and I were out driving somewhere on a Sunday and saw a car carrier in an empty parking lot loading a new one. Driver put an old MGB right over a new Chrysler convertible with a white roof!!
