How has your Gatorback held up?

I had Gatorback on my 2004 Av and it generally held up well but had to be careful not to scratch the surface since it was just like a paint layer. I traded the 2004 in for my 2008 so don't know how long the Gatorback lasted......I don't even know if it is still available, have not read of anyone using it in years.
Most members don't use it and have gone to Refinnish Restorer as a way to revitalize the cladding finish but it needs to be applied properly and needs to be reapplied every so often to restore to as new finish. One person is a member here and used to give a discount on purchases too:

How often do you remove the Snug-top?  If it's a permanent fixture on you Avy that could be a contributing factor as to why it held up so we'll.  Granted the side of the sail panels are still exposed but the rest of it is pretty much under cover and not exposed to the sun.
