Actually, I have to raise/lower the top *at least 2-3 times a day
due to work, rain, parking etc.  I've always used a two-sided
window protector, and always latch/unlatch/zip in the recommended
sequence.  I use the Meguires plastic polish only once per year
(just to do it, not that it really needs it).  The car is driven at
temperatures from 0 F to 95 F (mostly at the higher ranges, though :) )
and the window/zipper/top looks *absolutely factory new*.  Really!
