Default Soft Top Question

I know this is strange but now that its cold im storing her, and figure since its been about 7 months since i put my aux hardtop on, i should exercize the ragtop and put it up for a while. Question is is there any tips / procedeures for doing it so i dont damge it. Its a vinyl top with plastic window. Im afraid it might not want to cooperate or the wrinkles might not smooth out.

Keep the top up and tightly latched.

It will eventually remove all the wrinkles and keep the back window from creasing. :thumbs:

When you put the top back down make sure it is clean, and that the sun has warmed it up good. Then take a wide or long rolled up towel and place it in the fold of the back window as you put the top down. This keeps it from scratching itself up as it moves around a bit when you drive. :blueangel:
