I just got my new Mugen HT back from the body shop nice and painted. Now I have to put this thing together. The assembly doesn't look too bad with the exception of the back window and the rope thing. Does any one have the instructions in english for this?

 

if you mean how to install the catchers/strikers etc use the regular instructions for a hardtop. Not sure what rope thing you are talking about. If you bought it new from King Motorsports or an authorized dealer call up King, I am sure they will help. Otherwise it should be pretty straight-forward.

 

Yes I bought the top from King. The rope is used to install the rear window somehow. That is the best I can tell from the pictures.

The hardware and weather stripping looks pretty easy...

 

This rope that you speak of, is it the wether seal or window molding?

 

The rope is for the installation of the rear window... somehow

 

PM jfo, he installed his using the rope.

 

He pm'ed me and said the rope trick did not work, but he and a friend were able to install by hand.

 

The rope thing isn't as bad as it looks. Just make sure before you do it, the hardtop is on your car because you're gonna need two guys (including yourself) to do the window install and it requires alot of pushing in from the outside.

1)Wrap the rope around the window frame the way it shows it in the instructions. You have to put the rope deep into the seal so that it will stay around the window. You'll know if you did it right because if you don't, the rope will just fall off when you try to put the window on.

2)Have the second guy from the outside, push the window in from the bottom center. This is also the same location as where you're going to be tugging from the inside.

3)Tug from the inside while the person outside is pushing.

4)The person pushing from the outside should push where the rope is being pulled around the window frame until the window is in.

Good luck!

 

Thanks i'll have to recruit a family member over the holiday weekend to help me.

I wish Mugen offered these already assembled painted Black.

 

any chance you can take a picture of the window parts you are talking about? i've installed everything except the rear window and would like any help and tips.

Thanks
