hi all.

its nearly that time of year to put the cab away for its winter hibernation. other than the usual store prep, do you think it will harm her if i put her away with the roof down and tonneau cover on?

the reason i'm thinking this is to keep the inside aired. the garage is nice and dry so the car will be ok, but will this leave creases in my roof fabric?

thoughts please.

thnx, Al.
 
I've heard if you leave the roof down too long (on any cab) that where it's creased it can dry out and crack, sounds better to leave it up. No experience of this though, just what I've heard

Why put it away, doesn't the heater work, I used to love night time and dry sunny day winter blasts in my Trumph Stags.
 
i will get it out on cold crisp sunny days/evenings, like last year and early this year, but when the ice, snow and frosts come heavily, it'll be tucked up
 
Windows down to air the interior? Dehumidifier to keep the damp out? I'd keep the hood up myself, if there's anything that needs to be kept dry and ventilated it's the cloth hood I'd have thought.

Is there no room to get the car in the house? [:D][:D]
 
He said hia garage is dry amd warm.So roof up to keep it from creasing and windows down to let the dry air into the interior.Or new french doors and car into the dinning room and table chairs etc stored in garage over winter.Imagine the fun the kids would have decorating the garage for xmas dinner.
 
ta for the replies, much appreciated.

i think it'll be hood up, windows down you know what, i never not fort of dat [&o]
 

Lubricate winders before leaving down for any length of time, guess how i know that[:-]

Recently got some silicone spray lubricant trying to cure a creak caused by the door panel moving against the end of the dash (scuttle shake in a cab) and had a recommendation to put it on the door seals to stop them sticking in cold weather. I've done that to both cars, but also to the glass channels and scraper seals on the cab - not as messy as WD40!
