I would strongly advise against installing a new top in cold weather!
You won't get a "good fit" if the vinyl is stiff, period. It will generally
be a PITA just getting everything to line up if the vinyl isn't "warm and
floppy". Best thing is to install a new top in WARM weather but don't fit it
like a drum, just make it firm but give it room to contract. After this,
leave the top up during the whole cold season, so it doesn't contract as
it's stretched out.
