    My new top should arrive this week. Does anyone have any installation pointers I should know about??

    Do the install on a warm day or inside a heated garage.

    I'm in So Cal and I have a big cat heater for the garage. I'm thinking on warming the top in the house while I'm putting on the bows. Does that make sense?

    Measure twice, drill once. ;)

    Oh, and get the work area as warm as possible. 10 minutes after you unfold the top it will be at the temperature of the garage.

    Sunny day works the best - even if it is a cool sunny day. Really makes it soft and pliable.

    Thanks everyone. The top came yesterday and it was right out of mfg so it was really soft and pliable. I opened it and put it over the bed in our guest bedroom to keep it warm. Since I'm helping a friend frame his new home I don't have time to put it on right now but soon.
