I saw one of these on display by Moss Motors at Gold Rush.  When you put the
top down, the "extra" windows had to sort of fold in half.  It wasn't as bad
as I expected, though, and they didn't crease.  I don't know what would
happen over an extended time.  Maybe somebody else can describe it better.
The view from inside was greatly improved.  Get one and give us a report!

Sam and Baby, whose top is in fine shape due to lack of use!
