yep. It took me a few tries, just remeber to fold like an accordian.

 

you got it, gets much easier with practice...my 4 door was a pain, even with 2 people, now my wife can put it down by herself.

 

Thanks took a little fidgeting good thing i am 6'3'' i can reach to the middle when lowering it that helps.

 

Should i use the velcro sunrider straps to secure the top when down?

 

I would as it will reduce the chances of it from opening like a parachute.

 

that's what i was thinking

 

some guys will tell you that they never strap it down, but I would rather be safe than sorry. 10 seconds vs. several hundred dollars...
also grab some stuff called strap all (REI . com). stronger than factory straps, and you can make the straps longer so that it gets a better grip on itself (you will find other uses too)
