Hi,
Just a thought. It may help if you release the front catches on the roof to give you a bit more play (like you were going to put the hood down). The roof might be very tight in the cold weather.

Re: Rear Window zip
Exactly as per AndyH, release the front catches to release the tension in the hood.

Re: Rear Window zip
Might just be a bit stiff Ted after a period of being unused? So long as the two sides of the zip are intermeshing, it should do up. Like Andy, I zip up with the hood only partly raised - but I guess you do that anyway?

Try lubricating it with some natural beeswax or candle wax.
