dumb question of the day!

FYI - my top is in the down position (under a hard top) from October - May. I have no issues / problems at all.

I think some people recommend placing a towel inside the fold of the plastic window (if you have one) to prevent scratches/sticking if you are going to leave it down for an extended period and enjoy spirited driving.

I don't keep it down long enough for that, but I do always wipe down the exterior of the window with a microfiber cloth before putting the top down.

Do you have cats? or other critters in your garage? LOL I found cat hair(I hope) on my seats and carpet. Male cats are know to mark their territory(spray) even if fixed sometimes(luckily not in my car). I should have set the alarm.

Other than that i would think, logically, that it would be better all around to leave it down. Just make sure the window doesnt bend the wrong way when you lower it. You might have to stop and help it a couple times.
