Lowering the canvas roof on a 348 spider

Guys,

How do you fold your roof when you lower it on the 348 spider? Do you fold the rear window?

Thanks,

Ton

 

Wait a minute, there's a roof under that cover ?? ;-)
The window does fold and there is a posting discussion of folding it inward or outward. Mine folds outward although admittedly I really never have the top up.

 

When I put mine down, the window has a tendency to naturally flex upward. I carefully push it down, so it bows inward. Then I can get the cover on so it looks right.

 

That is exactly what I do. But I was wondering if it is damaging the window.

 

I was told at our cars and coffee event that the correct way is to fold the window in, I was letting my window go out and my cover didn't fit right untill I was shown to fold it in.

 

That's what I noticed too. It does not fit under the cover if the windows folds out.
I guess Ferrari intended the window to fold in.

Did somebody ever try plastic scratch remover on the window for the small scratches? Did it help?

 

I posted this same question about 2 months ago when I got mine and posted pics in regards to how it makes the leather cover look in the back. There was an interesting point someone made about it that I agree with...folded in there is more room and it sits flush in the back. However, I as he mentioned and I noticed, on the highway I could hear it flaps around in the back center hitting the paint. I'm not sure if this would eventually damage the paint, but the noise was enough to annoy me so that I still fold it outwards the way it tends to want to fold...at least on mine. By having the extra "bulk" to it, it prevents that flapping and still looks good.

 

plastic scratch remover every 3 months or so, and it looks great.

 

Thanks! I will buy some tomorrow.
