Robert, It sound to me that (maybe) you are "not" folding the soft top's sides up and over the outside of the soft top (folding each side inside-out). The canvas sides can't be stored in each side, body troughs (the recessed body areas where the top's frame rails swing down into for storage. The series I (and series II?) soft top is different (from the later series) because it usually has three windows, and a zipper along each side-bottom to release the sides for folding (see above). So the correct method of storage will have the complete soft top, both sides folded up and over the middle section (looking like wings folded over it's back; gosh, this is hard to explain). Stuff the complete top down into the middle trough area, close the side-metal covers, then close the middle cover. There should be spring plungers (located in each side cover) that secure the middle cover from flopping open again. Anyway, that's what my series I is like. BTW, I am missing those two spring plungers; Does anyone have any?? Jan
