Soft top inesthetic....!

Have you a trick avoiding that :

[Garry]

When you fold your top down into the compartment, you need to make sure that the outer edges are pushed down under rather than up that naturally happens when it drops into the HT box.

Hi Yves - when you search the forum and the technical manual, you will find many discussions about this. It is as Garry says. In fact I had to start 'alternating' methods because the corners on my top started to curl down/inward rather than upward.

Yes Yves. During the 17 yrs of this Forum, quite a number of Pagoda related subjects have been milled through...

Hi,
It helps when you lay a piece of plastic over the fender before you close the softtop so the edge can slip in better.

A useful video, also showing such a "shoehorn" to protect the rubber seal when lowering/raising soft top:
