I have a question about the top...

[Houston C4S]

Boxsters and Boxsterettes,

Regarding the top -- it seems like there are lots of cables
and stretchy things down in there. Does leaving the top
down (or up) place added strain on these components?

In other words, is the top mechanism under more stress
up or down?

Asked still another way, if you are not going to drive it
for a while and the top is down, should you just go on
and leave it down? Or is it better to put it up, then put
it back down later -- which operates the motors, gears,
etc. two more cycles.

Assume garage parking in a safe place and a cockpit
cover keeping dust and bugs out.

And, while on that topic, how many times can the top
be operated before it bites the dust?

Thank you for your time and attention.

All the best,

- Mark
