I have one you can borrow. You can come and get it this weekend. Oh and while you're here, you could help me install mine!

I bought one a couple of weeks ago. Still waiting for my old one to magically reappear.

Good thing I have a hardtop.

You're welcome to drop by mine tomorrow and see what needs to be pulled out, and also the modifications to the frame required.

What do you guys think of this soft-top? http://bit.ly/N7q2rw
Can a mate and myself manage this install?

AusS2000

Sure you can. If your mate's an upholsterer.

Seriously, it's a big and involved job so unless you're pretty handy I'd get someone else to do it.

i just brought a cloth version softop non defrost glass window and will be installing it myself.

auss2000 how long did it take u to remove the roof?
also where did u buy that pillar gauge holder? been looking everywhere for it but all left hand drive pillar.

AusS2000

Took me a good part of a day to pull it all out but I took my time.

That gauge pod is a Greddy generic. I had to cut it a bit so as not to block the air vent but it fits pretty well.

Found some time (ok, so it was actually motivation that was lacking) today and did some work on my roof:

Added the extra elastic straps but also replaced the existing ones as they were in a sorry state.


Also added the nylon straps. These are on the back bar and are used to pull the rear bar back when the roof is closed. The elastic is to retract the back bar as the roof folds up.


Made aluminium plates similar to the existing ones. I'll paint them black when finished.





Finally got to see the roof out of it's packaging. It's a thing of beauty.

BTW, here are the two instruction PDFs I'm using:

I'm mostly using this one:
