Swivel pivots!
A big yes from me. My 1993 4/4 had an Everflex hood. It was a tight fit, especially in cold weather but warmth softened it and improved flexibility.and a bugger to get the end/corner lift the dots on. Swivel pivots removed this problem.
When fitted and garaged the hood was left up to keep shape etc. I continue this with the new car and mohair hood.
Some people put hot water bottles in a folded roof to help keep it warm and more supple to fit. A short time in the sun also helps.
