Re: [TR] Best outside temperature for installing a new soft top

[Greg Perry <rgperry@earthlink.net>]

Jim,

I once installed a top in July in the heat of the day.  I eliminated the gap at 
the top bar in order to prevent the top flapping going down the highway.  When 
winter came I had a hard time attaching the top to the windshield frame.  The 
top material shrank in the cold temperature.  I suggest that you install the 
top at the average temperature for the region that you live in.  I've learned 
since then!
