Hi Paul,
When the hood (aka the roof, the softtop) is folded according to
instructions, the rear quarter windows are folded in on top of the rear window,
requiring the corner pops to be unpopped. Then the hood is rolled down into the
car over the frame.
The hood cover is popped on all around the back, and there will (should) be 3
elacstic straps with wire hooks. These reach down under the rolled up hood and
hook to the hood frame keeping everything bundled neatly.
Cheers, Fred
