Default Folding the Soft Top Manually
Removed my soft top today and installed my HT. Only issue is that once it was off I'm unable to fold it so I can store it. I started to force it, but it didn't feel like it'd fold w/out breaking. Any tricks?

BTW--the HT (w/o liner) weighs 44 lbs and the Soft top w/motors weighed 59.5 lbs. The other brackets and misc. nuts and crap weigh another 4 or so. -20lbs!

I'm taking a stab here but assuming the whole assembly is still intact wouldn't be possible to run a 12v current to the motor?

Just remove both motors and it easily collapses.

LoL...duh, yeah, that would seem to make sense! Thanks for pointing out the obvious.
