Wrong, as traditional dodgers are designed to fold down.

Those aren't dodgers.

Here in the US we generally see two types of dodgers for the
companionway: Cruising dodgers and racing dodgers. Cruising dodgers
are much wider, usually the entire width of the coach roof, and
usually not designed to fold down unless the canvas and eisenglasss
have been removed and stowed away. Racing dodgers are much smaller
however and are generally the width of the companionway hatch or only
slightly larger. They are designed to fold down quickly and easily.
Some racing dodgers do not even have eisenglass in the front, only
canvas.
