Good thinking. It is a very fine line between having a perfectly taut
"concours" top installation, and one that requires a hot sunny day to erect
at all (which, of course, is not when the top is generally required). In
Northern California this isn't really a big issue, but in regions with more
variable temperatures the wise course is probablly to leave a little
warm-weather "slack" so it can still be fastened up on a particularly cold
day.
