brownnova Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Two convertibles in the fleet.... one has just had a new roof so that’ll be tight as anything! The others the 2CV... When it’s not dark I’ll have a go... Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marm Toastsmith Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 But...... I have to get out of my car to lower the roof completely. Jim Bell and LightBulbFun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 But...... I have to get out of my car to lower the roof completely. Thats allowed just follow the rules. Start in the drivers seat, lower roof (even if this means leaving the drivers seat), then one circuit of the car beginning and ending at the drivers door via the bonnet, put the roof back up, get in car, close door - shout TIME!

Timewaster Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 My mouldy spitfire would do roof down and up in 20 seconds. Being in a garage full of crap, the run around would take several hours.

Guest Hooli Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Best to avoid folding plastic hood windows in the cold though, unless cracking them will achieve extra points? Drive for a few mile first with the heater on full to warm the roof up & it's fine*. *I discovered this shortly after discovering they crack when cold...

Ohdearme Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I have no convertible but felt I should join in the spirit of things. In lieu of roof all windows were opened prior to the lap. https://youtu.be/RwdrENkYJWI I think it may be possible to improve the time were child locks not on, the car was less full of shit and a falling off window winder resolved. Apologies for the arse shots, in anticipatory defence of the snazzy bracelet, I had been making such things with daughter earlier, honest.

djimbob Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I have recently purchased a Pug 206cc (or is it a 207? I get easily confused), with a tin top what folds up and down, but have only just swapped out the rear axle due to it being a right lemon - the top went up and down before i filled the boot with tools and such, and now refuses to budge! I reckon it's a simple fix by removing the world of crap in said boot, or I'm scuppered and might have to read an owner's manual There is a few smoll jobs to attend to before venturing out onto the Queen's highway in a safe fashion such as lower wishbone arms, engine mounts etc.. but I am confident she will be able to participate some time in the next calendar year Ohdearme and Jim Bell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously I expect they've got a sensor in case there is too much crap in the boot to leave the roof room to fold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
