I finally decided on the GAHH glass-window top for my 98. I am a little worried the acoustic canvas might stress the motor and arms and would rather go for the "regular" german A5 canvas (which is supposed to be the OEM).

I have been hearing "tricks" from installers such as leaving a wet blanket over the closed top for a couple of days (guess the car stays in the shop) to let the material stretch out properly or leaving the top up for 10-15 days for the same reason.

What has been your experience from your installers?
Anyone know where I can download the GAHH pdf installation instructions someone mentioned receiving with his top in another thread?
Any "look out for" pointers?
