Re: Dual Top Option
You just need to do it a few times. I got pretty fast at it. Your Sunrider
top is likely different, but one of the tricks I found is to start the
zippers for the side windows _before_ I snap in the battens over the doors.
The other trick is that when starting the zipper I use the velcro and have
the rest of the window hanging on the rear post, just a bit higher than it
would sit normally. My last trick is to pull down on the back of the top
when zipping around the rear window to relieve the stresses on the zipper
and make it easier.
It also stretches out a little bit (not much tho) over time.
I know - it probably says all this in the video.....wherever that got to....

top is likely different, but one of the tricks I found is to start the
zippers for the side windows _before_ I snap in the battens over the doors.
The other trick is that when starting the zipper I use the velcro and have
the rest of the window hanging on the rear post, just a bit higher than it
would sit normally. My last trick is to pull down on the back of the top
when zipping around the rear window to relieve the stresses on the zipper
and make it easier.
It also stretches out a little bit (not much tho) over time.
I know - it probably says all this in the video.....wherever that got to....

I used to do that with my Mustang, but was always worried about getting it

Now it should be ok.
Hey Jen, do you use seat covers to keep the crud and moisture off?
I am going to curl up with a cuppa coffee and my owners manual in about
three minutes. So much to learn.
