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

Regarding folding the top down with the window still zipped, I've had a roll 
bar (Sport Auto's) in my '91 for about two years now.  Such bars are required 
by some driving schools I attend.  Anyway, I can't put the top down and unzip 
the window without creating a nice big "pocket" for the wind to grab.  The two 
rear support bars on the roll bar prevent the window from lying flat.  So I've 
been folding the top down with the window zipped, always being careful to make 
a smooth roll out of the window section as it folds.  No problems so far with 
the plastic creasing or rubbing.  (Except where my dear wife surprised me one 
winter morning by scraping the ice and snow off with a plastic scraper, but 
that's a different story. Oh well.)  I never did like unzipping and re-zipping 
the thing anyway.  The only drawback is that I can't put the top down from 
inside the car anymore.
