I recently purchased a 2013 CS Cab and wondered if the creases shown in my photos were normal? I almost always store the car with the top up when im not using it. Any input would be greatly appreciated. love the car, its truly inspiring to drive!

yes its normal. Its much better than the 997.2 cabs.
clean it and treat it every so often.

I took mine into the dealer on Tuesday and basically asked the same question. Gunter over at Porsche of Fremont said it was completely normal. I also have some shiny spots (2 above each of the doors) that have developed, but he said this is expected as well. Gunter gets pretty solid reviews on the forums, so I trust his assessment.

Some advice: Never ever put your convertible top down when it is wet. Not even with dew on it. If it isn't absolutely dry, leave it up. Folding a damp top leads to creases.

All true, mine has the same anomalies. Overall I love the new top!

thanks everyone, i did notice after a good rain on the top and the sun drying it up the marks become minimized, almost gone.

To the OP, yes creases are normal and NEVER leave it overnight or for a few days with the top down! Will set the creases and also result in a dusty, dirty interior. Both my previous 997.2 and my new 991 S cab have the creases, no way around it with a soft top.

Kosmo, when you say treat it, what are you using to treat the soft top? I asked my Porsche dealer and was told there really isn't a treatment for the cab tops? He said I might want to have it Scotchguarded, but I'm thinking that wouldn't look good on the areas that are prone to creasing....

Park it in the sun on a warm day with the top up and it will minimize them as well! If I don't put the top down for several days, the creases almost disappear!
