I disagree. The material stretches when hot, contracts when cold. I've
seen too many people trying unsuccessfully to properly erect a soft top
when it gets cool on a trip. Snaps do not quite reach and they leave
some unattached. Best to install the snaps at about the temperature that
you would normally consider erecting the top. They might be a little
loose on a hot summer day if you erect it for shade but you should be
able to erect it when it gets cold.
