Kill the ignition while the wiper is moving and in a good position.

Of course you should take them out in the rain. That's why they have weather stripping around the doors and a top that goes up and down. If you don't take it out in the rain rip off the top and keep it in the garage or somethin'.
Hey scdroptop, that's a buck a mile, good thing you didn't drive it more. hehe
