blind spots

[Capt Kidd]

[8)]Well so far I've had the ragtop for 4 weeks and the only thing I don't like is the total lack of vision to the rear. Doesn't matter if the top is up or down you can't see squat out the back. So take it for what it's worth and be real careful backing up.

i know this is an older thread but i COMPLETELY AGREE. holy crap the vision sucks in the rear. the blind spots are killing me. i've bumped into two things already and i've had the car only six months or so. I was hoping someone else posted something about this because i needed to vent. i've driven all sorts of cars and never had so much trouble with backing up.

but all in all i still love my car.

You want to see blind spots, sit in my Crossfire Coupe. The PT Convertible is OK with me. In fact, I like the additional length of the side door glass over the 4 door PT - greater side visibly without that big B pillar in the way. Rear visibility is reduced, granted but really no worse then many other convertibles.

Just be careful! I have Touring & the vert!
3 months with the vert., and no near misses here....yet!

Yah! I know this is a succesive post. But, I thought about it again this morning on the way to work. The only thing you loose is a little of the width of the rear window. Still have to look closely in the side mirrors when changing lane.
-Otherwise it's a heck of a lot easier to see behind the ass than my wife's Grand Marquis!
