new beetle convertible question
 

I currently own a 04 se cyber green beetle. My lease goes up soon and I am considering purchasing a new convertible beetle. How is the top on the convertibles? How is it with sun, snow, rain, etc? Do you have to replace it every so often? Is it dependable? Is it safe? I know a dealership will tell me what "I want to know" so that's why I am here asking fellow beetle owners. Thanks again for taking the time out to read this. Hope all is well.
