I had it all clean and polished up, but not for that reason. I wouldn't have thought of that -- good to know.
I bought a temporary garage at Costco and have it stored inside at the lake -- hopefully the interior will stay nice that way.
I got a Besttop soft top from the guy I bought it from, but I haven't tried to install it yet. I heard they're not that great -- but I almost got caught at the beach in a thunderstorm and figure I better get it on for a back-up plan.
