Karmann Speak - for Convertible Tops
In reading the Karmann description below, do we all believe that when they say "open the top" they mean stow the top in the trunk ? And when they say " if the top is opened when it is damp " they mean if the top is lowered into the trunk when it is damp ? And. . . " Do not leave the top open for several weeks " they mean do not leave the top closed in the trunk for several weeks ?
Or is it me that has this misunderstanding ?

Operating the top: ( From the Karmann Website )
" Only open the top when it is completely dry and clean!
If the top is opened when it is damp, this can cause unsightly pressure points. This could also allow mildew to form and produce spots. If a top is opened when it is dirty, this can cause so-called "relative movements" at rubbing points and thus produce changes in its appearance. Of course, it is essential to remove ice and snow before opening the top.
Do not leave the top open for several weeks at a time, but always close it between use so that no discoloration is produced at the points where it folds and also, so that it will not form permanent folds in the material. Furthermore, it could become difficult to close the top under certain circumstances if the top has been left open for a long time. "
