[TR] TR3 convertible top

[Paul Tegler]

many times! (btdt)  and agree...left in the sun is best. 75 to 90 degree 
range is best (top surface temp).  BUT...you don't want it super hot, 
just very pliable. AND...when installing do NOT stretch if very tight or 
you'll never get it up when cooler.

The idea of it being warm is simply to allow the material to stretch in 
multiple directions, and stretch evenly to get the wrinkles out.

Better yet, 'stretch' is not the correct term.... 'noticeably pliable' 
perhaps a better term.   :-)
