not done it myself, but i think if your screen creases pour a kettle full of hot (not boiling) water over the outside of the screen to remove them. but make sure you do it during a full moon.

Cut a bit of pipe insulation and stick it across as you fold the window down?
Personally I dont experience much of a problem with it but then tend to put the roof up at the end of each day.

Alternatively pay a wad of cash for a posh one from Muz.

The really hot water thing gets the creases out. And then when you fold it, get out half way, and either put something on the fold, or just push it in a bit and fold the rest.

It really got on my tits after a while when it got bad, so I just sold the car. Probably not the easiest or cheapest way to cure the problem though.
