I brought mine inside for a few hours, that seemed to stretch it out pretty
well.

                Good evening list:
                Well, I finally got around to putting the top back up on the
Midget, for the
                first time since April.  Imagine my surprise when I
discovered that I
                couldn't get all of the fasteners on to the studs.  Is there
an easy way to
                stretch the top material to its previous dimensions?  I
tried running the
                heater with the windows up for a bit, and parking in the
sun.  It helped a
                little bit, but I still can't get about half of the
fasteners attached.
                Suggestions?  Perhaps I should get a second heater so that I
can leave the
                top down all winter.
                Regards,
