Top down 2005 C6

Any problems with leaving the top down my 2005 Vette in garage. Will it make top wrinkled or what ? Just got car for fathers day. Lemans blue cashmere interior, tan top auto with magnetic ride. Fantastic car. I'm going to Super Chevy tomorrow to sale my 1969 CAMRO SS 396. I hope I have good luck . First post

Mine gets really dusty and the tan tends to show the creases in the top more.

Leaving the top up preserves the smell of the leather also.

I kept the top down most of the time on my C5 when living in Cali with no problems but only had it for a year and a half. I park the C6 with the top down during the warmer months and only put it up when I get to work. During the winter I keep it up. It does show creases but again, I don't care since I rather have the top down when I drive, even in freezing weather. I agree that the smell of Zainos Leather in a bottle is less noticeable when I leave the top down

I have the tan top and leave it up all the time in the garage. It is easy to put down and I figured it might cut down on wrinkles (and spiders too).

It seems like the benefits of storing it with the top up far outweigh the drawbacks. Why risk spiders, ants, mice, etc.?
