wrinkled tops on vert

Ever since I took my convertible home from the dealer two years ago, there were wrinkles in the top. The dealer told me to leave the top up in the sun for a few days and the wrinkles would go away. It's been over 2 years and every time I bring the car in for an oil change, the dealer tells me the same thing. I've had other verts before but they usually had cloth tops and they would not wrinkle.

I'm wondering if any of you are having the same problem???

Probably due to the fact that the exterior of the top is not cloth...
I've got an 08 vert, and it has a few lines here and there, but only I can see them, the cloth top also helps to hide them.
Did you try conditioning the top with raggtopp?

Mine only has wrinkles when I first put it up. Thay go away after about 30min. Must be the hot FL sun.

Thanks, I had never seen raggtopp in the detailing section of my local autoparts stores. I googled it and just bought some. Hopefully it will help.
