The top seems to stay fairly flat with the stays off, so I don't imagine that water would puddle much, if any.
I did notice that without the stays there isn't enough tension to keep the cables on the front and back of the top very tight. So, someone could reach in through the front or back and mess with your car pretty easily (take stuff out or put stuff in). Having the stays installed keeps enough tension on the canvas to make it much more difficult to reach into your car.
I started the installation process of the rear grommets on my car at 9 AM yesterday morning and was completely finished by 10:35 AM. That's 1.5 hours to measure, mark, cut the holes, install the grommets and clean up. In that 1.5 hours I also took 2 trips to the hardware store to buy the Dremel bits and epoxy. All in all it's a very simple procedure and the car looks much better with the stays installed.
