What should I do to my soft top Before putting it down for the Winter?

Are there any pre-winter things I should do before putting it away for the winter? Special creams and such are for the Spring. Anything I should do for the winter?

Use a good two step process such as AUTOSOL and a good plastic cleaner/polisher for your windows. Make sure top is completely dry before storing. Also, during the storage cycle , stop and manually fold the canvas and windows making sure no creases are present. These should work for you.

Put some old clean towels in the folds of the roof to help keep the shape, the goal is to avoid sudden bends anywhere in the plastic windows.
