Sounds like he was either pulling your leg or, at a minimum, had no idea what he was talking about. As indicated above, stopping part way is how you get into the engine bay from the top, and how you do "the chop" to keep from creasing your back window.
Assuming the PO actually knew no better (and therefore never did the window chop thing when opening the top), what kind of shape is your vinyl in? (Assumes as well that yours is an older Box with vinyl, not glass.)
