I have usually left mine latched... but I've heard arguments for both.

Latched. I would prefer all the varmits and bug to stay out of the car.

I'd consider unlatched w/ a car cover (breathable) on the car. Otherwise latched.

Now that we have a garage..I considered leaving the top down..but we have spider central in our garage That and I have the same pinch marks already from top downage...top up gives the fabric time to stretch and become un-pinched again

yes..for long term storage.
it's currently under wraps in a storage lot.
the oem honda cover is what's keeping the baby covered.
coincidentally, the car is also sitting on 4 spare tires (my friends a goof, he didn't want to let it sit on the oem tires so he bought 3 spares + the one that came with the car )
so the verdict is to keep it latched?

Oh! Long term... top up unlatched with cover... even if it's a sheet. No question.
