Default Removable Hardtop Question

When leaving the removable hardtop on my C4 can it damage the convertible top because it is folded up inside the car for long periods of time? what about the fragile window on the convertible top? Any information would be appreciated. thanks

The top will be fine. I leave mine on my car for 5-6 months at a time. As to the window, you can either buy one of those pillows they sell to protect it or do what most do and just put a towel on the window as you fold the top down.
