Looks like you have got a lot of good advice specific to your questions, but
I would like to offer the following to anyone putting a TR3 top on.
I read somewhere about not hooking up the webbing on the stick nearest the
trunk. When you need to put the top up you leave this stick collapsed until
you get all your fasteners hooked, and then you slide this stick in place.
This gives you lots of leverage to draw everything nice and tight. This
really works great,and makes putting up the top much less of an ordeal.
My advice is to try this method, and if you don't like it, you can always
attach the webbing afterwards.
