Arrggh wrinkled the back window good

I broke a bolt on the top a few weeks ago and left it down for quite a while without thinking. I fixed the bolt today and put the top up. Ouch. Major wrinkles in the window, and a line almost in it from being folded. I have been sun bathing her all day long in 80 degree heat, seems a little better, but I am concerned. Any advice?

Thanks!

a stemaer wrapped in a towel applied very shortly to not burn the vinyl works. or use the towle over the steamer, a sprits of water on the whole topp and barely touch the steamer to the top. too long at the vinyl will melt and itll look crappy.

Try a hair dryer. They don't put out as much heat, so less chance of melting your window. Move it back and forth across the fold, and it should smooth out.
