First chance to get the top down

Post by martyb »

the only downside was when i got home i noticed the fabric seal around the rear screen had came away slightly so a pair of tweezers and a little super glue and its tucked back in and sealed. :)


ohh and anyone with any knowledge here being an auto can the plastic surround around the shifter be changed from a flat plastic to a leather gaitor?
another wee pic.

Nice pics Marty, If you can have a look about for a wind deflector, it makes a world of difference when you are driving with the top down.

Something like this, Clicky Link. There are 2 versions for the cars without roll hoops, the difference is the spacing between the posts. I am unsure which one you will need.

Ask about a member may have one that is no longer required.

I think you can only have a gaitor with a manual shift..

Thanks for the suggestion brian a wind deflector is something ill look into once iv fixed the last couple of niggles. Without the roll hoops does that make it easier to fit? as i quite like the look of the hoops too.

Cheers southern boy thats unfortunate had a combo of leather gaitor and new style shifter in mind ill keep my eyes open though for a possible way of converting it.
