How Effed am I - Convertible top in down position for over a month
'67 GTO, top was in the down position after the 'thermal event' and FINALLY got the starter and wiring far enough in place (all connections secure) to put the roof back up.
Doesn't look major-bad, but I see a lot of wrinkling toward the back on the vertical surfaces and in the corners of the window (plastic) Top will be up for the duration until next year, any ideas for helping it along besides rolling it out in the sun to cook? Alas, the hot weather is gone here in SW Michigan as of last week... |

Grab the blow drier from the bathroom.
Do a little session every day and it’ll smooth out. Remind yourself to never garage it with the top down.

Being Michigan I would guess you have a few heating blankets laying about waiting for winter to show?

I left mine down a whole summer. I didn't know the wrinke issue was a thing. That was years ago. I can't say I even can tell today.
I make it a practice to put the top up after every drive since then. |
