Q for people storing their cars ......
I am going to be on vacation for a month (Jan 20-Feb 20) and was wondering what
to do to the S before I leave ... I mean other than the usual wash, wax, clean interior,
cover etc.
Thanks!

I agree with Jeff. If the temp. permits, wash it, or at least hose it down and get rid of the salt. Otherwise, don't worry about it. I hope you're going someplace warm.

Storing for one month? I don't think I would do anything more than wash it and make sure it is dry and leave the soft-top un-latched. Have a good trip Abhi, enjoy the warmth! Let's get together when you come back, you know, MacGregors in Canandaigua.

Why leave the soft top unlatched? Would leaving it latched under a car cover create problems?
Yes, definitely a few more drink meets after I return.

You park your car outside? Well if the answer is yes, DO NOT leave the top unlatched... My car stores inside, and I don't latch the top so as to not put any extra strain on the top.Cool, we will set something up once you get back, with a bit of luck Eric and Skip can join us this time.

Cool. So, is there any merit in keeping the top down and cover on? I keep in in the garage, of course.
