Park it in the sun. Even at 50*F, it will loosen up a lot.

Okay, on Thursday, I'll pull it out of the garage, if the forecast holds
Yep, my strategy for these has always been to grab a friend and a sunny day (even 45 or 50° if that's all you got) and PULL LIKE MAD. It'll still take about a half hour of real effort to close it that first time if it's only 50 out. Stand, sit, curse, whatever it takes.
I've put a blanket over the gap between the top and the header with the heater running. After 20 minutes or so, you can pull it forward enough to latch. A sleeping bag insulates well and lets the vinyl get good and warm if you cover the whole top..
