Talking about protecting the rear window:

   I've had my red '90 now for over 4 years and I have never put a
towel or anything else down to protect the plastic and it still looks
great.  Of course, I don't raise and lower the top a lot - probably
only a couple of times a week at most usually.  I have used cleaners
on the plastic to get scratches out.

   I keep the whole car covered when I'm not driving it and I think
that's made the biggest difference in keeping the plast window in good
shape (along with the rest of the car).  Now, if I could just cover
the car WHILE I'm driving it - no, wait, that wouldn't be any fun. :-)

Of course I don't speak for my company.  If I did that
they'd have to pay me a lot more money.
