I washed the cloth softtop of my 4/4 this afternoon and now it wont fit back on without considerable force. So much so that the windscreen frame gets pulled back and the door rubbers interfere with the frame. I've unfastened the windscreen as I dont like the idea of that amount of force on the windscreen. Has anyone any ideas about stretching it back? I'm considering lowering the frame hinge point to relieve some of the tension but surely this cant happen every time it rains! I rarely have the softtop up but this weekend is Drive It day with a run from north Norfolk. The missus wants to be comfortable and warm so top on else she wont come. And I need a navigator!

Edit..this is a 1974 4/4 so a separate softtop which I made the mistake of washing off the car!
