I am sure there is a utube or some other description on line.
I was taught to unsnap the cover entirely (along the body) after releasing the
front clamps, then pull the cover back away from the frame bows. I fold the
side windows in before I tuck the cover down. Haven't done it for a while and
don't have it in front of me. Seems like it is fairly obvious how to fold the
sides in without putting hardware against the window plastic. You want to
avoid that.
The most important bit is to remember to pull the cover back away from the
bows and especially away from the folding side rails. Otherwise those side
rails will tear the cover. My two cars both came with torn tops because the
previous owner tried to fold it down without pulling the cover back. :(
