Soft top opinion
I'd like to get opinions about leaving the soft top completely down for weeks at a time. Since the JK is garaged at night, I can leave the top completey down for as long as the weather cooperates. The windows are in a Clover Patch roll.
What are thoughts about leaving the top down like this and the windows rolled for a week or more at a time? Is it damaging at all? Will it cause creases or wrinkles, or wear?
I've had the windows rolled for the past week, and I did notice them kinda wavy when I put them back in earlier tonight (that rear zipper sure is a PIA). I'll see what they look like tomorrow.
Thoughts / Experiences?

Had the top down and windows rolled in the Clover Patch setup for 2 weeks, until tonights T storms. Put the top up at 6:50 and held off on the windows until it actually started to pour at 7:45. No problems except I forgot the rear bar at home so there was a bit of a gap.
You'll get the wavy look on the rear, but once you ride in the sun with the windows open, it all smooths out. That rear zipper is a bear though!

Coincidentally, we were both putting up the tops at the same time....

Thought about removing it but it's one thing for me to get soaked by a pop up T storm, quite another for HER to get soaked! I suggested a bikini as a solution and she told me that she wasn't riding around in her thong at 38...

Funny Repressed..
- Has anyone noticed that the third brake light kinda gets in the way when lowering or raising the top, or am I just doing it wrong?
- Does a loaded clover patch roll fit under the rear seats on an Unlimited? That would be nice.
- When the soft top is taken off the vehicle, it still is stored all folded anyway, right?
- Storing hardtop: lots of moving blankets...but whats better rightside up or upside down?
