Check car manual, I have a coupe but many soft window cars need to have the window unzipped and flat before the top is stowed.....also nice when you just want the air flow with the top up.
BTW, NOVUS products will keep it clear (non yellow) and scratch free. I've used that stuff on plastic windows for years.

Tim, when I had my cab, before lowering the top I would unzip the window, then place a terrycloth towel against the plastic, then put the top down. We drove the car more than 100K miles, the back window still looked good when we sold the car.

What side of the window did you put the terry cloth towel?

Also, don't they recommend putting bee's wax on the zip from time to time to get the zipper moving freely? I think it was bee's wax anyway. I agree with Peter on the towel, I do that on my Miata and it keeps it looking sharpe.
My only other tip for cabs is to never keep the top down for long periods. A day or two won't hurt, but keeping it down for weeks at a time is a bad idea.
