TIA, Greg 86 Westy

Yes there is a way to do this.. Get inside, close all the windows and
doors and <underline>then</underline> realease the top. The pressure
will let the top drift down rather than fall down. This will allow one
to tuck the canvas and not have to hold up the top at the same time!
And remember to watch out for the skylight if your van is equiped with
one.
