Is it ok to leave the roof down for days at a time...

So... is it ok to leave the roof down for days or indefinitely?

In the past I always put the roof up everytime I park the car but recently the weather has been fine and when I drive the car daily, I put the roof down and backup up at the end of the day... only to repeat the next day. There's really no need to put it up, I decided, other than if it's gets any kind of wear or damage when it'd down.
The car is parked in a garage always and I put the cover on it, with the roof up or down, whenever I park it there.

Many of us have hardtops that we fit during the winter. This means that the softtop is folded down for all the time that the hardtop is fitted.

So I don't see any problem leaving it down

But bear in mind that it bounces around a little when it's folded so it rubs where the folds are touching. There's a special cloth that can be layed between the folds to protect it. I don't bother but some people will lay a thin soft towel or something between the folds.

I take it you aren't in the UK..
I used to ponder this, worried about the rear screen folded up for a length of time, tried it once for a week, towels in place to stop rubbing. The screen was okay, but was a bit stiff getting the roof engaged in the locks when putting back up, so didn't do it again

I'm in NZ... plenty of top down weather here, all year 'round.

I like the towel idea, I will give it a try. Thanks.
