Folding Convertable Top

I received an email from a site with original TD members and it included folding the convertible top. Hope I get it posted correctly. The British call the convertible top the “Hood.”

Cool stuff…for an original style roof.

 

Our single layer vinyl roofs fold up differently. Classic Roadsters Ltd. offered instructions in their assembly manual on page 79 (which is page 25 of 27 in the Final Check List and Test Drive section):

Thanks Paul. The FiberFab manual doesn’t give any instructions on folding the top.

I use mine so infrequently I may not reinstall it now that I’m redoing the interior.
The interior project should be done in a week.

Wax or bar soap works too.
