  I found a website which had a diagram on lowering the hood I cannot remember which site it was, the diagram shows that you unclip the side poppers pull the hood back half way then pull the top away from the frame lower the frame pulling the fabric flat over the front so it lays over towards the front of the car then you can fold the side flaps over ontop whithout damaging the side screens it oviously looks better if you have a hood bag to cover it all.
  
  Good luck

    That's the way I was shown as well. Obviously you have to make sure you have unclipped the poppers which hold the hood to the frame, the two sets inside the car.

      Try searching google for "lowering spitfire soft top". I'm pretty sure one of the first links you get is to the http://www.triumphspitfire.com website, which has said diagram. Alternatively, check out the club regalia and accessories booklet. You can buy handbooks for £6.00 and the diagrams are in there too.
