5. Unhook the two roof stays and pack in the roof bag. Stow
the bag in the rear luggage compartment.
NOTICE: If the roof is not fully dry, it should be stowed for no
longer than 1 or 2 days before unrolling or refitting and allowing
to air dry completely. Prolonged stowage of a wet or damp roof
will promote rotting of the fabric.
