Last thing... You didn't say your MY; if you have a plastic window you might want to invest in a garage heater if you are planning on putting the top down after storage when it's cold outside to avoid cracking.

Thanks. Good to know I'm not overlooking anything. I want to hang on to this great car for as long as I can. I do have a car cover, and will cover it when I'm fairly sure I won't be driving it for awhile. The garage is unheated, but it's attached to my house, so doesn't freeze, although it does get pretty cold in there. I don't have issues with mildew or anything, so I feel lucky about that.
My car specs are in my signature at the bottom of my post. It's an '02 S. The OEM plastic window was yellowed and cracked when I first got the car, so I opted for a new top with the newer glass window. It was plug-and-play wiring for the rear window defogger. (I got it from autotopsdirect.com.) Local auto upholstery shop installed it for me, and it fits like a glove. Very happy with it.
