[TR] TR3 convertible top

[dwoerpel]

Friend of mine gently uses a drapery steamer to make the material more pliable up here in the frozen tundra. Recently did a friends Morgan +4.

    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.   :-)

        I agree with
            that, better yet wait until July and leave it out in the
            sunshine for a couple hours.

        I have a nos convertible top.  Apparently
          an old Sears/Allstate top, still in the box all folded up,
          still carefully wrapped in tissue paper, probably more or less
          how it came some years ago.  It’s a vinyl TR3 top with a cloth
          lining.  Never been installed, lots of snaps and things
          included.
         
        I talked to Moss today, and they said to
          use heat, obviously not a lot.  I know, take it slow, be
          careful, apply heat, just take my time.
         
        Has anyone actually done anything like
          this?
