They generally are very tight when first installed. If you install it
loose, and you hit your first warm spell, it will flap like a loose
sail in the wind. If you don't need to put it on right away, you may
want to wait for a warm day, or find a warm garage, to put it on in.
Once it is one, leave it up as long as you can, to allow it to stretch
and set.
Not to be contrary Bradster....you know I'd never do that, but the last top
I installed, I put on tight, and instead of getting looser on a warm (110
degree days in the summer) day, it proceeded to shrink? By the time I took it
off three or four years later, it was pulling at the snaps and a real bear to
latch closed.
I'll be installing my new top this winter and doing it loosely. I figure I
can always rip it off and make it tighter, but sewing in a patch to make it
loose would look like caca.
