I just got a new roof installed.

I agree that a top with plastic window should be stored with the top closed to keep the plastic from warping.

My new top has a glass window.

If I park the car over night or during the day in a covered garage, I think storing it for longer periods of time is OK because it is pretty safe all tucked away.

It also brings up the question..

Is it better to keep the roof stretched or leave it open and let the fabric rest.

I believe if it is constantly stretched, it will lose elasticity over time and sag.
