<VV> Convertible Tonneau Cover Question

[J R Read_HML]

The VERY FEW times that I've had the top boot out of the rail, I always 
found it easier to reinstall with the top in a partially up (say 15% or so) 
position.  On a difficult one, it might be helpful to put a bit of liquid 
dish soap in the slot.  It would also be helpful to have a helper so that 
one can pull and one can push from the opposite side of the car.
