the top has been up and latched for all that time [18 mos] and I was wondering
if anyone has any good advice I should follow before dropping it for the first
time. 
Park the car in the sun and let the top warm up and get flexible as you have 
a cappuccino and perhaps a nice plate of pasta.  By the time you are finished, 
the top material and the window material should both be soft enough to fold 
w/o cracking.  Eventually, you will want to thoroughly clean the top before you 
think of putting anything on it; as a rule I think that will depend on the 
type of top fabric you have.
