Wrinkle in rear plastic

Can a wrinkle in the plastic of the soft top be removed by appling heat from a dryer or warm iron without damaging it totally.

I've usually found that leaving it parked with the windows closed in the sun on a 70+ degree day works pretty well. Being a devoted subscriber to the "first-do-no-harm" school of thought, I'd be more likely to tolerate the wrinkle temporarily than to try a blow dryer.

I'm thinking of doing the same exact thing. My soft top is still up and it's too cold here to put it down to install the hardtop. I think if you use a dryer on low heat and move it back and forth constantly, you should be safe. At least that's what I'll likely try.

Eli.
