I usually drop the top before getting in the car (reach in, insert key, pull latch, press down button). When it's open to about the service position I stop, stand up, and chop the window.

I've been thinking of adding some elastic straps to pull the center tight to avoid having to do this. Maybe some day I'll actually get around to doing it... lol

But for now I ALWAYS chop the top after opening it just a bit. I don't want that plastic window to rip on the sides. I also carry a microfiber towel and a bottle of Glass Plus in the frunk and make sure the window is clean before dropping the top (to avoid scratches). 3.5 years now and it still looks like new.

Sorry, wish I had a better answer for you. If I ever get around to adding the elastic straps I'll do a DIY writeup on it...
