<VV> Towing a Convertible backwards-put the top down?

[Charlie]

Yes, I know that now, but (a) the truck only had one option - the dolly, and
(b) he didn't want to damage the undercarriage with the rear overhang being
longer than the front.

What worries me is the I didn't think of it at the time, and I probably
should/could have thought of it. 

Luckily, the windshield didn't blow out although we never went over 40-50 so
all is well.  (The windshield has some minor chips that make me want to
replace, and that would have been the excuse I needed? Would it have damaged
the deck lid on the way out?)

You're lucky the windshield didn't blow out.  I've had it happen.

However, I think I inadvertently avoided all the aforementioned problems of
getting dolly-towed backward 13 miles home down a steep hill (coasting I can
reach 90 down this grade.)

Anyway, my top was down (as it ALWAYS is!), so none of those problems
occurred to my car, since there was nothing but the windshield to "Catch the
Wind" (as Donovan would have said.)
