soft top in winter
what happens to the soft top when exposed to snow all winter? why is a hard top more useful for cold winters? is it just for heat insulation?

Manual states (IIRC) not to operate softtop below 5C.
So as long as you keep it closed I would think => no problem.
Snow itself would be an insulator
Keep the rubber seals well "greased up" with that sillicone grease and you'll be sure it opens when the sun comes out again.
For a real winter opinion others should chime in.

does the softop get damaged with prolonged exposure to cold/snow?

The only time I wish I had a hardtop is when sheets of ice and frozen snow fly off the tractor trailers doing 70mph on the highway. I have visions of my top (and maybe me, too) being sliced in half by that stuff. Hasn't happened yet, though

I would imagine that you should not let too much snow accumulate on the soft top (i.e. more than 9 inches or so?). Snow does weigh a lot!
