Subject: Oops I folded the top without unzipping...
   Date: (none)

I drove down to Chincoteague Virginia from Washington DC this weekend (yes
with the top down both ways, I have the sunburns to prove it) and friday
night I put the top down without unzipping the window. Yes I am an idiot,
but I have only had the car two months. It was only down for about 15
minutes before I realized I had made the mistake (as we came out of the
7-11 with the beer). Problem was it was kind of cold so the window was a
bit rigid when this happened. 

Anyway, there is a small kink in the window about the size of a quarter,
right in the center. The plastic is not "white" or badly crimnped, but it
is enough to annoy me. Anyway to soften up the plastic the fix it? Will the
sun do this over time?

So far I have done the minor dent in the rear trunk thing and now fold the
window down without unzipping in cold weather thing. Whats next?

Another questions is I notice many small scratches on the car. Do Miatas
scratch easy? Or perhaps I am only noticing them because I love the car so
much??? But there are more than I think there should be in the two months
I've had the car.


Thanks.

Joe
