Peter=2C Its interesting that you don't have the same width shrinkage probl=
em that I have with my tops which spend about 2 days raised each year and r=
emain folded all winter. The length on my tops has stretched=2C so they are=
easier to attach at the header rail than when new. I think stretching the =
length causes the width to shrink (Poisson's Ratio) as in an elastic band. =
Do you mostly keep your top raised?
