Anybody have any idea if its best to store the 991 cabriolet with its top up or down in the garage? I generally have been keeping my top down (open position) in the garage as I generally drive that way and don't go out in bad weather. Thinking this might cause permeant creases or other issues.

I was told by my dealer on my 993 that the top should always be up if it stored. As you mentioned creases etc.

top up, creases bad.. also heat from engine +any moisture=bad mold problem.

leave top up, u can lower/raise u to 35mph... shouldnt be an issue putting it up. dont even have to stop.

My only convertible was a jag xkr and the manual recommended top up, for the reasons you state - creases.

Top up. Just to keep dust out of the interior.

I do both depending how I feel. My 996 stored every winter with hard top on so top down. After 12 years top still looked like new, even the plastic window. In summer I put top up and down many times a day depending on where I was. I'm treating my 2012 the same but don't have a hardtop so will store in winter with top up.

Top down in garage can lead to spiders in the car found while driving.

I ALWAYS keep the top up... oh, wait.... I have a coupe.... never mind!

My cab will be here next month. I'll keep the top up. Otherwise, the cat will jump in. I keep the sunroof on my 997 closed for the same reason.

Majority rules...top up for sure! Keep those creases at a minimum.

top up = +1

Another benefit - keeps the new car smell lasting longer (and the interior of your car smelling less like your garage).

And spiders....
