Given they don't end up wrapped around a tree, of course. So over time messy folding like that will become an issue, unless Porsche made some improvements in the fabric, which we have not heard about.
Actually, it will only last about 2-3 days in the fridge.

Well, Chris ... the roll out here in CT-land is early February. I think the cars will be here before then. I have several dealers in state emailing me wanting my business. We'll see.

But, I need to look at the car. Drive the car. Then decide. I'm pretty sure we'll hook up and get a 7 spd, C2S cab. I have 3cars configured. Deciding on color mostly.

I'm pretty sure there is a used car market in North America as well. So longevity does matter, to a point.

There is, yes. But you said most folk enjoy a life span. In NA that life span is *TYPICALLY* 2-4 years. That's a fact. So if a top has been abused, and starting to show wear- is when people pull the plug and move on to another car.
