Yup, windows up. Mistake? I've stored other cars windows up with no problems.

It was parked in an unheated garage with a concrete floor that is closed up for weeks (months) at a time. Though since May we've seen some record heat & humidity around here. (One reason why I've been in no hurry to get the Miata out of storage!)

Now I'm scared to go look inside the Firefly vert... I haven't been inside that car for a couple of years!
