Convertible top

Convertible top
I have been told that it's a good idea to run the A/C frequently (at least every other week) to keep the seals in good condition.
Here in Florida that is no problem.
However I was wondering about the convertible top mechanism.
I sometimes keep my top down for months at a time.
Is it also a good idea to use it frequently to keep the motor and mechanisms in good order?
Any guidance would be appreciated.

I don't think it would make much difference to the motor etc. but I have heard that it's not a good idea to leave the top down for extended periods.
Having the top up keeps it stretched out and leaving it down can trap dirt and/or moisture.
No personal experience here. Just some things I've heard that seem to make sense.
