    Any issue with leaving the top down for a couple of days when garaged? No elements to worry about?

    A few days should be fine but if left that way it will probably get wrinkle lines that will be hard to get out.

    I don’t know that leaving it in the up or down position makes any difference, although you need to “exercise” it once every couple of weeks. Otherwise, there is a minute amount of shrinkage/contraction of the fabric and the top then struggles to reach the latches above the windscreen. Sort of like how your trusty pair of old jeans fit when you remove them from the dryer.

    If yours is having trouble reaching, simply spray the top with a mist of water from a spray bottle, allow it to penetrate for a minute, and the fabric will the stretch sufficiently for the top to engage the latches.

    Many guys in good climates leave it down all the time and garage it .
    They report good results. I dont do this more than a couple of weeks at a time.

    Leaving the top up stretches the 14 elastic bands. Leaving it down wrinkles the fabric and window. Take your pick.
