Default Convertible Top

On the C6 has anyone experience like wear marks, they are not wear marks but looks like them. And this is after 4 months. This is the manual top. I have seen cars 3-4 years older and the tops look like new.

Mine has creases on the rear quarter panels each side cos I left the top down damp! I really hope they will eventually come out in time. I was annoyed cos the car is only 3 weeks old. I don't see any kind of wear marks tho.

Put the top up, damp it, and leave it in the sun. Wrinkles should disappear.

Wear marks like "shiny spots"?

Those are the fabric rubbing against itself with the top down.
