Convertible Creases
How do I avoid the creases in the convertible top when its been down for an extended period of time? It seems where the top folds, the top creases and the longer I keep it down, when I put it up, the creases are noticeable. The car is relatively new, an '04 with 4500 miles.

Top Down
My top does the same thing. The only way to stop the creases is to leave the top up when the car is not in use. I think the older the top gets, it will loose some of its stiffness and won't crease as bad either.

The top on my Vette only goes up if I get caught in the rain and I don't care about creases then. We also have a Sebring vert (with the same kind of cloth top) that we've put 122,000 miles on. It now sees year round duty so I'd say the top has been up 1/2 it's life. With just about 0 maintenance it still looks fine.
