I wouldn't - dust and dirt would get on the interior and critters can crawl in and reek havic I also don't think I would want my top in the down position all winter. Just like it isn't down all the time in the summer - I don't know for a fact but don't think it would be good for the material. Just my 2 cents

Done it for the last three years. No problems yet. Granted if i get into a raccoon nest or somethimg from leaving it down its my own fault.

I think it it recommended to not do that.. I would think it would not be the best for the top to be all bunched up like that all winter. Is it a heated garage?
