I would think this was obvious, but it's not to me. My big concern is protecting the clear side windows, especially at the corners by the back window.
I unzip the rear window and lay it against the back valance panel, then unsnap the top from the bows and let that lie flat on the deck as the top bows fold down. This is where it gets iffy. I can either fold the corner windows over onto the top, then fold the top over the bows, or fold the top over the bows and then tuck in the windows. The second way actually lets me re-snap the windows to the body, and puts a nice gentle curve in the plastic. This seems to protect the corners the most for me, but obviously I can't use a cover.
Just wondering if there's a method I'm not seeing here. The car came with a few small tears, and those corners are torn out already, but I want to save it as much as I can. It's by no means ever going to be a show car, it's a daily driver actually, and the top doesn't look too bad or leak in regular rain while driving, and is garaged otherwise.
Just looking for ideas.
Cheers,
Tom
