LOL Frank - it comes with an instructional video these days!
Damn spiffy!

But because of it's newness it is stiff and not worn in yet.
It'll get there eventually. Soon it will be time for a bikini anyway.

A F-ing-MEN Mike! My CJ was MUCH easier. The other thing too is I have this
new thing called a Sunrunner, it folds back just part way so that you get
soprt of a moonroof effect. Now if they had been THINKING it would have
folded UP like a bikini easily, not the other way around.

Anyway, it's on for now and will be fine.

Now, I know you will disagree with me here, but after convertibles, I think
that a power top would be great and they aren't THAT heavy.
Trouble is, where would you put all the crap?

Another idea, shot in the ****.
