[Rhodes22-list] Pop top enclosue

[Weiss, Robert L]

Mine goes on easier in warm weather. Kind of tight in cold weather when the material doesn't stretch as easily. I also have a couple spots where I added a little short strap with snaps that were made to reach a place that didn't quite fit -- around a stay by the topping lift line is one of those. Otherwise, my cover works fine.

Peter,

When you say, “Mine doesn’t go on easily”, what do you mean?  Does the enclosure not fit well over the pop top, or do the female snaps on the enclosure not line up with their corresponding male snaps on the cabin roof, or is the enclosure so stiff that it’s difficult to use, or?  My (well used) pop top enclosure goes on or off in a couple of minutes without any particular drama.  Many years ago, I published a series of photos to the Rhodes 22 website that illustrates a good way to fold the enclosure.

Does anyone have any tricks or advise regarding the installation of the pop top enclosure?  Mine doesn't go on easily and I don't want to force it.

Thanks
