Garaging the hardtop
Time to do this yet?
It was such a beautiful day yesterday I decided to get the top down and go for a blast. However now that we (hopefully) have seen the last of the Great British winter, is it worthwhile leaving it in the garage and relying on the soft top?
The only reason I'm reluctant is that as a relatively new owner I'd rather keep the canvas in the pristine condition that it's in! Are they generally hardy enough to cope with the April showers or should I keep an eye on the forecast until summer is finally here?
Cheers!

My car stays outside all the time with the soft-top only, its pristine. You should probably treat the top with some renovo first however.

I've had mine a year(ish) and the top was on for two days. Just used Renovo on the hood and it seems to have made it a deeper black, should I put multiple coats on?
Oh and paid lots less than in the link.
