The owner needs the tip of how to prevent the curling corners on the soft top.

Hi Peter,

I have the same issue "curling corners on the soft top rear corners" Can you make a screen shot of the area in the Tech Manual? or direct me to the section that talks about this remedy?

Thanks in advance!

PS. I've checked the Tech. Manual and cannot fine a reference to curling corners.

Rolf-Dieter... It's very easy... When you stow the soft top fold the corners under the top. Do this for a couple of weeks, and they'll stop curling up.

Now I'll just need to print this page...
