Howdy all! DIY'ing a top replacement on my '00 986. Got the old one off without too much trouble.

I have the new top laid out, and because of how it was shipped (folded like a long rectangle shape), when I lay it out flat, there's some creases (not major) in the canvas I'd like to smooth out.

A) Is there a good method for removing these shipping "creases"?

B) Is that even something I need to worry about, or will they "disappear" or flatten out when I get it on the car?

Thanks in advance!
