Forget about the fabric. What you really want to maintain is the rubber seals. If they become brittle you are in for a world of hurt, or leakage. Here's the thing you need:
You should apply it at least twice a year. You need it both against the temperature changes and against the sun (UV) exposure.

I've done the best first step as I have just moved into a house with a closed garage...
I will be able to keep the Audi inside for the icy winter, and I'll drive my other cars through the nasty stuff.
