New top installation question
 

Getting ready to install a new top on a 30 Sport Coupe. What tricks/methods does anyone have to remove wrinkles and creases in the top fabric from being folded in the shipping process??

I installed one from Classtique. It came with instructions although they left much to be desired. Take your time…take lots of time. It came out ok.

Lay out all the fabric flat for several weeks before you begin and the wrinkles should relax out. If there are hard creases you may have to resort to a steamer or iron. Always do a test in an inconspicuous area first.

Lay it out so old man sunshine can do his work

I don't know about this type of material but when installing vinyl headliners a lot of folks sneak them into the wife's dryer for a few minutes... ;) :)

I bought mine from Bert’s. It was rolled, not folded. No wrinkles to deal with.

The sun and warm weather are your friends for this job.

Not to scare you but a sport coupe top is a difficult top to install well. It must be pulled right and strategically in many areas. Cam at lebaron bonney use to say it was the most difficult too they sold to install well. I believe that is true.
Happy to chat if you want some personal pointers .
