Concerning top condition, my 2001's looked almost new, right up to selling it last year.. The rear window had some crease rub marks toward the bottom edge that might yet come out with lots of elbow grease, and the flanks of the top had a bit or wear in the area that the framework would cause rubbing. That was it.
I used various, (including "official" products for the window,) including Plexus, and Raggtop for the canvas. Occasionally I'd shoot some graphite into some of the frame joints, too.
You know what you're doing, but everyone should know to be careful using a hair dryer. On cooler days I'd either let the interior warm up in the sun, or use the heater set on recirculate before operating the top. Having the windstop out would expedite this second option.
Minus 40 degrees... Is that Fahrenheit or Celsius?
