John the way I was taught to do it was to unsnap it completely pull it part
way back and pull the top away from the frame so it lays on the scuttle,
fold the frame down the whole way, then fold the top to the inside, and
fold the sides in neatly. I think a lot of people simply cram it down in
there without much thought and end up folding the rear window in the
process, thus crimping and destroying it.
