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.

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.

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.

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