Folding the roof

[H1GRM]

Hi All,

May be stupid but when my roof is carefully folded down from outside the car I am never sure to try and tuck the rear corners down or leave them slightly protruding.

All advice and insults welcome

Hi Greg, they are called ears when the roof does that.  I actually took my roof strap away from the roof lining as I felt that tucking the ears in didn't seem to do any good for the roof.  I know it's not the right thing having ears within the club but hopefully I will be forgiven.

Greg doesn't have a oe roof.
I can remember the material off the top of my head.
@s12vea is it vinyl or mohair?

The answer to the material depends on the folding method.

Mohair roof
From memory I always had to help the ears disappear when putting the roof down.

Hello Greg
Mine is a canvas type material.
Always tuck mine in just before the click down.
Was on the car when I bought it. So never had a vinyl to compare with.

Ok so sounds like the majority tuck ears in.

Sorry Jane I am sure you will be forgiven.

@spit always said the same as you @Chilli Girl.
The strap causes an extra fold in the roof, so, the "ears" are actually better than no ears. Sadly
