It's up to you what method to use, or to do it at all.  If I had it to do
over again, I'd sew it up so it can have a little lateral slide.  If
glueing, you'd better get it dead-on right, cuz you won't be able to redo it.

Tough one.  Definitely don't do it like Stupidme did--outdoors on black
pavement in the blazing sun on HOT day.  Once the temperature drops below
55F, putting the top up becomes dern near impossible.  Figure a good
approach would be to do it rather snugly on a day whose temperature is
pretty close to what you'd imagine would be the lowest temperature you'd
have the top down.
