I don't usually bother trying to get my top up, but I'm planning a road trip
and want to make sure it fits if I need it. I've only ever had it up once or
twice before, and it never seemed fully stretched. One of the snaps even
started to separate from the vinyl. I've used a hair dryer to get all of the
snaps to fasten around the back and also to strectch the front top to get the
snaps on either side to fasten. Now I'm trying to get the frame up into
position, and am having a rough time. I don't want to force it too much.
I've tried the hair dryer across the top and sides as much as possible, but
can't seem to get one side warm enough to stretch without the other side
getting too cool. Any suggestions on how to really heat up and stretch the
entire top at once? I know the logical solution would be to let it sit out on
a nice 95 degree day, but we are past that time of year. The best I could
hope for would be low 80's.
Thanks,
Paul Brandsema
