<VV> zipper lube

[Ebarr19 at aol.com]

When I had my Fitch Sprint convert, I also left it zipped up and when I put 
 it down I also placed a towel around it until while at a car show in the 
Tampa  area and a hot day it put the imprint of the towel in the window ( 
Black cover )  It took me a long time to remove the imprint with a hair dryer. 
So in hot  weather I would advise using a soft cloth next to the window.

Bees wax is  available at fabric stores.  It is easier to work with than a 
toilet wax  ring, less sticky too.
