Fitting a soft top when it's cold outside.

  • Anyone who has tried knows what a pain it is to fit a soft top, much less when it's cold outside (no stretch). But it looks pretty sweet anyway and the only other choice with the impending weather was to cover it again. Come on spring!

  • It's amazing how much they shrink.

  • Once we have a good warm day, it will stretch and shift (with a little help) to exactly where it's supposed to be. For now it 95% in position. Good enough to keep the snow, rain, and most of the wind out.

  • After cleaning off the snow, I set a fan/space heater inside on an extension cord. It warmed things up enough for me to tug the corners into place, and get the zippers closed. Looks perfect and road tested great at Highway speeds.
