I'll second the installing a little loose suggestion.
I installed mine so it was drum tight...thinking it would stretch. Now at 
the end of the season raising the top requires a warm sunny day and a couple 
hours to help stretch it out.
Looks good but challenging.
One of those things a DIY type gets wrong I guess:(

hi, ive installed quite a few tops on datsuns, and the main thing ive
learned, is to install it  loosely. the reason for that, is that it WILL
shrink as time goes by. also, if you leave it down for long periods
of time, it will shrink. i always put up the top, when i put the car
away for the winter. best of luck.  bob smith,ohio
