3000s hood folding lowering tips

[plasticpig72]

Every time i lower the hood on my 3000s i seem to end up with a different result.
Has anyone got any tips to make it easier.

Thanks for photos very helpful.
On my 3000s the hood is attached to the crossbar just above the back window. The other 2 crossbars are not attached. The middle crossbar finds it's own position when the hood is raised and pegs locked in windscreen top frame. Once all the poppers and tenax are attached i pivot the front crossbar forward to tension hood fabric.
I will put a Velcro strip the full length of the middle crossbar.
I just find when lowering the hood the fabric can be trapped on the sides where things pivot and could be easily damaged.
