Dodgers don't fold down.


Wrong, as traditional dodgers are designed to fold down.

"Traditional Dodger: Traditional dodgers are just that. They are an
old design that has sufficed for many years. They are generally a two
bow frame and a one piece canvas cover. They were designed to fold
forward out of the way when not in use. Unfortunately this puts folds
and wrinkles in the clear vinyl windows and renders them unusable to
see through."

The part about putting wrinkles in the vinyl and rendering them
unusable is rubbish. If one is careful folding them down and
smoothly flakes the vinyl it will last a lot longer than leaving
the dodger up all the time. It is stupid and lubberly to leave a
dodger up all the time as they are a detriment in fine weather.
