? for Cabriolet owners

I am wondering what advise any of you have on keeping the cabriolet top in the stored/open/retracted position for extended periods of time. Is it good or bad?

I notice that the top is "wrinkled" at certain points after leaving it retracted for a few weeks at a time upon closing. Any tips for getting rid of these wrinkles? I tried misting with water, but doesn't do much. I figure the top at least is out of UV exposure when tucked under the covering boot, but I wanted some input on what you all think.

Thanks in advance.

It is best not to keep it retracted for a long period of time. Hopefully you have covered parking so the UV doesnt bleach it. Most importantly never leave it retracted when even the slightest dampness exists.

I agree. It also seems that everything almost shrinks when left down for an extended period of time- more so when it is cold. The wrinkles should come out by just leaving the top up, window in the sun.
