Default plastic rear window maintenance

Did a search, and couldn't find an answer..maybe I just suck at searching for this topic What do the guys here with plastic rear windows use to stuff in there when you take the top down..if you do at all. The previous owner of this car used one of those pool stringy foam tubes and put it on the plastic with the top half down, then put it all the way down. It prevented folding. I cant find any, it seems now that its not pool season anymore...any other alternatives? Thanks!

But if I prefer the plastic window? The reason i prefer it is because of the size of it compared to the dimunitive glass window. Tonight I tried rolling a long towel up and putting it on there. It seems to do the job..I think

Glass window conversion is the thing now days but I fully understand what you are saying about the size of it. There is a tube(check miate forums about it) that you can buy.

id rather replace my plastic every few years than go to glass...visibility is already bad as it is on the left side blind spot! Is it just me or does everyone have to open the driver side window and peek out with your head to see the blind spot, as the canvas blocks it out to simply just look left....
