Default Bad to leave top down all the time?
I try to drive top down every second possible. So I leave my top down for long periods. Anyone have any problems with this? e.g. top damage?

no many people have hardtops and this requires you to keep the top down the entire time...

I used to forget it was down and leave it out all night since I drive topdown everywhere. Luckily I never had an issue. I know this doesnt really relate but...
