Storing the Vert

I'm going to store my MCSC for about 6-7 months. Will disconnect the battery and leave the bonnet unlatched so I can reconnect the battery before opening the doors.(Can't leave it on a tender) The windows need the battery connected so they can drop down a bit below the rubber seal before door opens.
Will add Sta-bil, put dryer sheets in the engine bay and interior for pest control. Bump up the tire pressure slightly. Should I change the oil first or when out of storage or don't worry about it? Will have about 3000miles.
OK...What else is suggested. Thanks, Frank

What does leaving the boot unlatched have to do with the battery? Your battery is under the bonnet.
