Turn handle or not?
I have watched several videos showing how the top goes up-and-down on my 2011 Camaro SS. Some show they handle being turned in and closed and some show it just turned and left open. What is the best way to do it?

Close it after you open it up.

Also states to return the latch to the closed position in the owners manual.

I've always left mine open with no issues.

Definitely close the handle again before fully retracting the top.
