Hi Joe,
 Thanks for the response. I don't have the boom room and didn't run the pop top enclosure over the boom. I think I was just a little gun shy about pulling on the fabric. I'll experiment with different sequences for snapping it on until I find one that fits me (pun intended).
 Thanks for the folding instructions. Roger originally posted those and I used them after I decided to "ask the list before I do something I regret".

Cheers,

Ensure that the snaps on the enclosure properly align with those on the cabin trunk. I begin by snapping the forward edges to the cabin trunk and wrapping the mast. Follow that with snapping the sides then the cockpit snaps and companionway. It's pretty simple. If you have the boom room, begin by placing the bows across the boom and get a couple of snaps on either side snapped to balance the "bundle". Then line up the velcro hook tape from the forward edge of the boom room to the corresponding velcro  on the enclosure.  Here some pics from my former R22, "Respite" as well as a great PTE folding plan that someone had posted on The List.  Hope this helps.

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Pop top enclosue Does anyone have any tricks or advise regarding the installation of the pop top enclosure?  Mine doesn't go on easily and I don't want to force it.

Thanks
