Soft top down for about 6 months...
 
Winter is coming, to all the owners with your hard top up. Would it be bad for your soft top to stall it down for some 6 + months under the day time heat? Should I do anything before I put it down and put the hard one up?

Thanks,

Tim

i dont have a hard top, but my soft top has been down most of the 4 years of its life... it lives under the boot and gets looked at only when i detail the car. still looks new.
so my guess is it shouldnt be a problem as long as you have detailed it properly

Only thing I've found is that when I leave it down for a prolonged period of time. It doesn't line up properly when I use it. So you have to force it on the first time and let it sit a couple of days. I think the fabric tightens and needs to stretch.

:iagree:

But I do have a hardtop and have had my car 5 years.

Wanabe,

What detail you'd do to your soft top that you were talking about? Please advise.

Thanks,

Tim

:iagree:.....it doesn't seem to mesh up the first time even if it's only been a couple weeks. I'm wondering if I'm going to have a 1 foot gap wen I put up the soft top again in March :D
