Default Question about the softtop while a hardtop is on?

Hey guys. I'm interested in getting a hardtop for my S but worry about the softtop while the hardtop is on. I know that you keep the softtop down while the hardtop is on the car so I was wondering if over long periods of time being in the "down" position, does the softtop start to have any issues? Specifically I would not want to permanently "crease" the softtop by having it down for a long time with the hardtop on. Can anyone tell me if this or anything else is a problem when using a hardtop? Thanks in advance.

yeah i figured the plastic window would be a problem for those who have it but since i'm an MY05, i wasn't concerned with that... mostly just the softtop fabric

I've never had or heard of any problems from this.

I've had my hardtop on for a few months already. I have yet to take it off and check for creases though. I'm sure there will be creases but I doubt it will be that dramatic.
