Erecting hood (soft top) on TR3A

["Chris Jameson" <chrisjameson@optusnet.com.au>]

Hi all,
 
Could someone please tell me the most common (easiest) method of
erecting the soft top on a TR3A?  I have restored and refitted the
hoodbows, but the hood seems impossibly tight to fit.  I am worried
about ripping the tenax pegs out of the windscreen!  I know they need to
be stretched and fitted in the sun, but..
 
Any comments/techniques welcome :-)
 
Cheers,
 
Chris
