as mentioned,
transtop rubber seals round the roof, can cause a problem, alright if treated with some rubber replensisher though
siezed rear calipers as also mentioned
make sure you get the manual arm for the transtop incase it busts

My Dad had one and it was shite.
Look ok when kitted up but they handle like poo and are slow unless you get a fast one.
