Thanks for the reply chopper. Are there any tell-tale signs of an incorrectly folded top when looking at the perspective of that last picture? I appreciate the quick responses. SPURS, did you ever check your top for comparison?

According to modifry, an incorrect top folded down looks like:



Notice the bulk of the top does not go below the trunk. I hope this is not only reassuring for me but for others too

I did check my top and it doesn't seem to bunch up quite as much as yours does. Mine is also very smooth on the back side underneath the back glass where yours has waves in it. Yours also seems to sit up a bit higher than normal.

It DOES seem to be folding correctly though b/c mine folds the same way, but there is a little bit of something that is off. We'll have to compare soon.

U are in Conway right?

In that picture (modifry), If I'm not mistaken, that doesn't necessarily mean that the top is folding incorrectly... It could be the straps are worn and not pulling the top as far down as they once did.

Most incorrectly folded tops that I have ever pointed out to people is when the top is down, one of the support bars isn't pulled back and it sticks up right behind the roll hoop assembly/secret compartment. It will look abnormal.
From the first picture it looks like it's sitting low enough/folding correctly.

Yeah I'm Conway most of the time, I go to UCA. We should meet up sometime to compare and maybe go on a enjoyable drive . I also bought a PC and a 3 step polish/wax that I have yet to have time to use (its my first time ).

Thanks for the info Chopper, you da man.
