nearly time for bed

[A.C.E]

hi all.

its nearly that time of year to put my '44 cab away for its winter hibernation. other than the usual store prep, do you think it will harm her if i put her away with the roof down and tonneau cover on?

the reason i'm thinking this is to keep the inside aired. the garage is nice and dry so the car will be ok, but will this leave creases in my roof fabric? (the rear screen is needing to be replaced due to being very cloudy, but as i drive it mostly in dry weather, the roof is more often than not down, so rear screen isnt a concern)

thoughts please.

thnx.

Hi OP

I put my merc sl into storage recently and made sure my roof was up as yes, it will crease heavily. Why not just leave the windows down/half open?

I've no experience of laying a car up, but the daily driver soft soft-tops I've owned (including my current 911) have the roof down at every possible opportunity, and even that's enough to make the fabric crease.

As suggested above, I'd leave the roof up and the windows down if I were to lay one up.

On the other hand, plenty of people stick a hard-top on for the winter and that's no different so you're probably best off waiting for a few more informed responses
