I was out the other day and came up against a F430, a very nice car. I am not sure who is in the lead.... take a look and you decide.

Yup, normal top wear. I think a lot of people are going overboard with the convertible top wrinkles and rub mark concerns.

That is the look I always get when doing boy stuff... we were going to eat and she was not happy with the unscheduled stop and even more confused with my excitement.

Edit: Adding to that look.. I had to put my top up and park just in the right spot to capture the top comparison shot.... I know y'all understand, she does not!!

Preachin to the choir.

I did see a 2002(???) Camaro ragtop on the road a couple weeks ago and noticed their top. Flapping was really bad and it looked like it had seen better days.

I have owed 5 other convertibles before my gen5 and all had fold mark issues and even some rubbing issues over time. To be honest based on the TSBs done to my vert since the replacement top I really haven't noticed any rub marks that I don't think are normal. I am more concerned with the water management system and it's mater damage that it could and has caused. There is a new system being tested that I hope will work.
Then again I had a toyota vert that always leaked :( I guess I just want to limit this damage and keep this car for along time.

I know that look.
I have seen it from my wife and given it when waiting for her to pick out a dress.
