Does anyone have information on the proper folding for the top on a roadster? Is there a proper way to fold it???

On the early cars I don't think you have much choice as they are pretty closely attached to the frame and can only go down one way. It depends on how yours was finished. On 50's and 60's cars I would pull the top out from the frame then fold it over the frame before putting the boot on. I'm not sure that I ever saw a right and wrong way.

I notice there are pinch points. So I guess it will be a trial and error thing.
