But the leather would probably age better if the top and windows were up.... but then you have to ask how expensive is power windows and power top to replace if I am using them all every time I drive it...
My Camaro is my daily driver. It's always garaged and I always put the top up unless I'm running into a store really quick. When the weather is nice, the top and windows get cycled up & down at least three times a day during the week. No issues with the power top motor or power window motors in over 2½ years. On my two previous Camaros, which I owned for a combined 27 years, it cost $400-450 P&L to replace a power window motor. I think I had to replace the motors 3-4 times in 27 years. That's a lot cheaper than replacing an entire interior.
