Yeah, I'z got an em-free badge for me 316 innit. Adds 300 brake ad the wheels like.

 

So did you manage to overcome your fear gaz or were you a big girl?

 

That's just not true info.

How can you compare a 996 and an S2k, not in the same league at all. As for 'bargain' Honda prices I have seen 2

 

Nope, I was a big girl. We went for a spin this morning, and stopped off beside the harbour for some lunch. I put the roof up, sicne we couldn't see the car from the restaurant. When we got back, the sun had heated up the screen enough that the bubble has gone. It must have been caused by the screen being hot setting whilst sitting on top of my video camera, then getting cold and staying that way.

Top tip though.

 

To keep the clarity of the window: I use the BMW cleaner/ restorer paste and - on Nick's (Graves) recommendation - some Meguiar's Scratch X. I've managed to restore the majority of the clarity, but it had been really abused by the previous owner! I also use a Muz roof well mat. Only problem i've had is with the white residue left by both pastes...

To remove creases: I use a length of foam pipe insulation from B&Q as the rood is being collapsed - to prevent folding. I also use a kettle of boiling water to get any creases out (when i cant be arsed to use the roll!)

 

Just to confirm for others that my v-shaped crease in the middle was because the screen wasn't folding properly. From now on I'm making sure that if it looks like it's going to crease, I get out the car, push the screen in the middle and this ensures it folds cleanly, and causes less stress on the screen.

 

I've had that also. It sometimes pinch at a point.

It happens more often if I haven't topdown for a while

 

Do the boiling water thing Gaz, then half open the roof so it gets the curve in the right place.

 

 

Dont chicken out this time.
