It was the roof I was worried about. The existing 6-piece roof fanfolds neatly in exactly the same way the walls do, but how was I going to make the new roof, with it's lack of radial symmetry, do the same?

Not only that, but while the current roof, *un*like the walls, actually fits inside my Honda CR-V, I was really afraid that the upgraded version wouldn't. How could I keep it inside the vehicle?
