Soft top "hibernation"

[Ross Bryon]

While I've found lots of good advice about hart tops, I've so far been
unable to find any procedure or recommendation for special treatment of
the soft top when it is being put down "for the winter"... e.g, a
longer-than-usual time. (Mine is a Robbins and there's nothing on their
site, either.)

I have a folded soft cloth protective "sandwich" for the unzipped
plastic window, but I would guess that some additional special care
should be taken... maybe some protective layering of cloth or paper to
prevent the vinyl surfaces from "sticking" to each other.

Has anyone some specific advice... or know where I can find some
authoritative information about this?

cheers,

Every week just take the hardtop off and put the soft top up for a few hours I
would imagine
