If you have spare cash, you can get a hardtop cover.

Great for the summer with the top down (greatly increases the smile factor) and the heater is so good that in the winter it will defrost everything in a 100 yard radius as you go along.
However, the roof is about as secure as a young girl on Jim'll Fix It. Anyone that can tackle poppers and velcro is in. I'm actually thinking of installing a soft top specific alarm.
What hasn't helped is that my daughter borrowed the car in the summer and split the roof with her clumsy stretching to pop the hood in place. Black duck tape is doing the job for now, but I think I'll have to remortgage the house to buy a replacement.
UNLESS ANYONE OUT THERE HAS A GOOD EXAMPLE THEY'RE TRYING TO SELL.

We did travelled a lot with-it (France, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands) and i like this little Jimny more than our other "bigger" and more comfortable cars !
When you think about it... you have two car's for the price of one !!!
In summer you have a cabrio and in winter time you have the perfect snow-mobil...
To open and close the soft-top, you only need some seconds (even with the older version).
Also as off-roader (with some minor adaptions) you don't have to blush...
For my safety (and the co-driver's), i do have a internal rollover-bar.
The only thing you need is a bit off common sense and not go offroading with some people in the back (i also don't want to do that in a "non-cabrio" version !).
For normal road use i'm also very happy with it, i don't like the "computerised" car's who drive the car for you and i'm almoast falling asleep in them.
Not in the Jimny, it's keeping me awake because i "feel" it, you really driving it yourselve and that... is why i like this little one.

True but I was thinking that you could remove it for sunny days

I would agree. Hardtop is a better bet overall.

We have been married 32 years and I have a certificate to prove it. I've gone deaf in one ear!
