I've always placed a soft pool noodle in the fold of the window to prevent a sharp crease.

Good idea - I was just about to throw out a broken one of those, just found a new use for the long bit.

As for the Trim Tech instructions para 8 - "Stand at the rear of the vehicle and make sure canopy is folded clear of linkage before folding into stowage position" - what?
Impossible on a car. OK in their photos.
How do you hold the stowage lid up and do that? - I'm a normal guy not a gorilla with 3 arms!

I use a rolled-up green terry towel for the purpose of crease-avoidance, in matching BRG, of course. It has the added advantage of being handy to sop up rain that gets past the seals... if Smaug ever sees rain.
