Top down in summer
My '02 has almost 80,000 miles and when the weather is good I leave the top down in the garage and outside I have a cockpit cover. Yes it does get a little dusty, but I have never had a problem with the top mechanism and my to and rear window are in good shape (I always wet wipe the plastic window clean and dry before lowering).
So, I guess it depends on what bothers you more-the potential for mechanism failure or top circles.
