my dealer said to put them up while towing but intuitively that seems to make them bang more against the tensioner strings. Opinions?

You'll get some heat reflection with them down, potentially keeping the interior cooler. Not so with them up.

I tow with mine down, no issue, trying to make sense of this advice.
