No thanks, :nonod: they're notoriously flimsy - and how long does it take to raise or lower the roof manually?:shrug:

Thanks but not for me either, :nonod: just seem to me that its over complication for no real gain, the roof is either up or down and I can do it faster than any auto system

I think this,from the add, says it all:-

'This kit was fitted to my car when I purchased it, but the 2 brackets that connect the hydraulic rams to the roof are broken'

It's a good car except that.

I don't want to bring back an angry wife I've got one of them sometimes at home for free.

metal convertable tops cause so meny problems Vauxhall are droping the twintop and the tigra due to to many problems with the roof mecanisumand they are going back to soft tops :yesnod: :yesnod:
