What is the easiest way to protect the rear window from damage? Does warming the car up by driving it with the heat on make it safe to lower the roof?

The towell isn't going to prevent a crack. It will mitigate scratching the plastic when it folds.
Do some Googling on the matter. Lots of information about temperature and that plastic.
Google.
