Default Storage and the roof

Should I leave the roof latches in the locked or unlocked position when storing the car for the winter?


Thank you,

Guess the big diff is the compression of the seals around the windshield and the top itself.
I would leave it unlocked so they weren' t compressed, and make ure I treated the seals before storage.

Lube the rubber seals, with honda Silicone grease.
Rub some soft top moisturizing protective cleaner.

You can leave is latched or unlatched, won't do much difference as long you take proper care of its components.
