[Spridgets] Convertible Top Install

[Larry Macy]

I made this exact mistake. Mine fits quite nice when it is warm and  
sunny, but is a bear to put up and get all the connections/snaps done  
when it is cool and wet. Now I hardly ever put it up, mostly when  
raining and I am not driving (I usually set the hard top on then, so I  
do not have to put it up), but rain brings cool air and the top no  
fit. Which alos precludes using it, Even tho the SU wants it up. I do  
not really remember the last time I had the top up, I know it was  
snowy as I made a small rip with the snow brush/scraper.
