I spoke with a very knowledgeable upholstery person the other day about
shrinkage of the vinyl and leather on the car.  The soft top is tight and
does not completely cover the interior parts over the windows on by BJ8, and
the boot cover will not snap in two places.

He told me all vinyl and leather shrinks over time.  He made two
suggestions:  use vinyl or leather conditioner regularly (not Armor-all);
and when car is stored at any time, put the top up.  Keeping it up and
stretched out, with conditioner, will make the car look better when top is
up and keep the threads in a more relaxed state.
