Four or five years ago, I decided to put my top on and go for a ride when the temperature was, maybe, in the low 50's -- I guess the car and the top could have still been in the high 40's from the overnight. Now, on a warm summer day, my top fits pretty well, as Jack at ERA fitted it for me (see this tweak thread:
Soft Top - ISO the Perfect Fit, or Just a Decent One... ). I still remember that day -- it took me about 20 minutes to get all the lift-a-dots fastened in the cold, maybe more, and my thumb tips throbbed for days.
A cold day, and a nicely fitted top, do not go together well. Yes, there is a technique with the lift-a-dots to get them to go over the little spikes easier, but your fingers soon go numb, regardless. Oh well, it is what it is.
