Default Storing Trektop for the winter?

Sadly, i think my hardtop will go on after one more wheeling trip this month. I'm currently running the Trektop and want to store it for the winter.

Anyone have any advice/experience storing a Trektop for the winter? Given the odd shape, how do you deal with the rear windows, etc?

Thanks in advance for help/tips.

I don't have a Trek top but for my Softop. I give it a good coating of 303 protectant on the top and windows. I will fold up the softop and store it in the stock cover. Then with the windows I roll them up in my cloverpatch window roll and bungee strap to the softop. With the door surrounds & rear tub clips I give them a coat of 303 as well and place all the screws into a ziplock bag and throw them into the cloverpatch so I don't lose them.

I will grab a good sized tarp and wrap it around the softop and cloverpatch and hoist it up and let it hang in my carport so no mice or rodents chew on my top.

Just in case you are wonder a cloverpatch is this:

Just roll up and shove? Do you wrap it in anything?

I have it hanging in the same spot as where i hang my hardtop. I use the bar on the rear window, to hang it and keep it from scratching or folding in any weird way.
I cover it all with a clean fleece blanket so that nothing scratches it.
