For a smooth fit:
For easier installation, the top should be installed at a temperature above
72º F. Below this temperature, the fabric may contract an inch or more,
making it difficult to fit the vehicle.
It is normal for the fabric to contract and wrinkle when stored in the ship-
ping carton. Within a few days after installation, the fabric will relax and the
wrinkles will disappear.
