I was told by a sargeant at a guard installation that the HMMWV with a roof
turrret definitely leaks like a sieve in the rain. Makes for a miserable
drive in a real downpour, according to him.
It's designed to drain the water out of the track system, and has nowhere to
go except into the interior of the vehicle.
I was shown one of the Helmut Hardtops for one. Seems to be a very nice
solution for the private use collectors that don't need the armor/gun kit
setup. This unit had the basic lowrise top with the side toolboxes designed
to be used with the hard doors. Would solve a lot problems I'd think, for
someone wanting something more than the soft tops.
I got curious enough to look them up on the internet.

Maybe some of you fellas should check them out.
