Bob=2C
Thanks. I'm thinking maybe I'll put my car outside on a hot sunny day in Ju=
ne with the 4 year old "shrunk" black Sunfast roof in "up" position with we=
ights hanging from the sides of the material to try to stretch it wider. Th=
en maybe I can re attach the Velcro to the side rails. If this doesn't work=
=2C I may repeat this=2C leaving the header bar free of the windshield.

My experience is the same as Peter=92s.  No stretch=2C but no shrinkage eit=
