Wrinkles in Vert top
The topic of wrinkled vert tops has been discussed many times in the past, but I don't remember anyone ever trying to steam or iron them out. Has any one ever tried those portable cloths steamers or a steam iron to relax the fabric? Maybe this doesn't make sense if you have to keep doing it everytime you cycle the top.

You are fighting a losing battle if you want to have no wrinkles. The fabric expands and stretches whenever you run highway speed. You might as well just get used to it. It shrinks slightly when you drop the top and will be slightly tighter when you raise the top, but it will continue to stretch whenever you go at higher speed. Over time it gets looser and looser. I have a 6 year old Z-28 convertible--I know of which I speak.
