In Reply to: How long can you keep the top down w/out damage? posted by Mabilis on February 14, 1999 at 18:06:14:

: Hey Guys,
: Since I live in the high desert, I plan to keep the top down (and tonneau on) for extended periods. The longest I will ever have the top down will probably be 2 weeks straight but typically will have it down for the entire weekend (putting it up during the week when the car is garaged as I travel for a living). Will doing this do any permanent damage to the rear window or top? The manual does not address this... Any opinions?
: Thanks in advance

I live in the High Desert too. My top stays down from March Through November, then "up" when the car goes into hibernation for the Winter. No problems in three Winters. Just use padding to avoid the window crease (I use a rolled flannel sheet).

Terry, Palmdale CA :-)
