Some people have told me that Viagra is very good for making a soft top erect...
The easiest way I have found is to clip in the rear part, then hook
the latches on the windshield, and then push the various bits into
place. I can do it as one person, but two really does make it easier.
Stowing is a little easier in that I usually just fold the window in
half between the top bows and that seems to make it the easiest to
fold back compactly.
Good Luck!
