That's what I do, but leaving both sides open just behind the door, 3 or 4
snaps, then erect the bows and snap both sides down.

Subject: [TR] TR3 Top Erecting
B B B Just curious what techniques work for getting the top bows up on a TR3
top after the snaps have been snapped. Every fall I find the top has shrunk a
little more which makes for a bunch of head scratching. My best technique for
the last couple of years has been to leave the driver's side bottom
lift-a-dots unsnapped (the first 3 or 4 behind the door). Then I pull up the
top bows easily on the passenger side. Standing outside the driver's door of
the old TR3 I can grab the lower part of the top bows and pop the driver's
side top bows into place without too much trouble.
B B B My technique works for me 100% of the time, even in the cold.
B B B What are the other methods sidescreen listers are using?
B B B Just wondering.
