Thanks Teri,
That is a lesson learned, a lot of what I read said to put the top in the
sun so it would be warm and pliable, but if I were to do it over again
would probably do it in the garage on a warm day.

Soft top fabric stretches in the heat & contacts in the cold. A top tha=

My suggestion is to fit the snaps during cool weather when you would <br>
normally erect the top to protect from cool weather whilst driving. It <br>
will tend to be a little loose when erected to protect from hot summer <br>
sun, but at least you will be able to get it properly fastened down <br>
during cooler weather and you wont be trying to stretch it enough to get <b=
r>
it fastened if hit by a shower while motoring.<br>
