Default Cold soft top install

Learned my lesson. 2007 4 door and tried installing the soft top in 50 degree weather.

Wow that sucked. I'm going to have to let it sit in the sun tomorrow and then try to stretch it back out to get rid if my new wind noise!

Not going to take it off and have to go through that again anytime soon.

I never had a problem with it but it just won't stretch to where the header goes. So it's unbearably bad. Maybe I should fold it down and throw the hardtop over it.

Weather went up to 58 today so I took it down anyway and it folded right back up. Probably won't get rid of the noise til 65 or up

I just got a new 2014 Premium soft top (twill canvas) from a guy to go on mine (I only had a hard top). Is the premium top quieter than the standard top?

Btw, it's high 60's to mid 70's here in south Georgia already. I hope it stays that way too.
