Well, today was the day, 29 degrees F. The top has been down since May and it
was finally too cold to drive draft barrier or no. Trouble is that it took me
4 hours to put the top up. I needed a quartz light inside the car, an IR lamp
outside the car and a heated garage to make the top pliable enough to latch.
I've never had this much trouble. (I've also never tried to put the top up in
such cold weather.) Last Summer I went to the local top shop and the owner
told me the top was Everflex and that the fit, if a little tight, was
perfect-no flapping on the highway.
My questions are: Is this a common problem for the well fit top? Would
putting a canvas top on make putting the top up when its cold substantially
easier?
As always I appreciate your collective expertise.
