I'm in search of instructions for installing a 3-fold ragtop cover. The box I have with the cover in it has been open for 25 years or so and I dont know if there were instructions in it in the first place. It came with the '55 I just bought 2 weeks ago. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

There's an old German-language 52-57 service manual archived here,
BUT.... it looks like it only covers the later sunroof though. :cry:

That helps out a lot, Thanks. Wish I could read German but the pics will do nicely. I'll save them and go over them more slowly later.

There's an instructional video on how to install a new ragtop cover on the KCW website. It's for a 2-fold if I remember correctly but it should give you the general idea.
