Thank you for the insight. This is my first convertible and it is also a 2nd car. primarily for the weekends, track days and rallies. I always though it might be best to limit the amount of movement of the hydraulic system. Since I ALWAYS put the top down when i drive it, I though that it might be best if i just keep it down that way i extend the life of the system. Usually I will put it up if I need to park and there is no shade or it starts raining mid-drive.
This is all a self proclaimed theory though.
With that said, let me know what you think. Or anybody else too!
Thanks guys.
