I am quite embarresed to admit this, and it is slightly off topic. but I only just hit on the idea of zipping the back window up BEFORE doing up the catches.... I cannot beleive I struggled with doing up the zip tight for all this time... Hopefully, some else has not thought of this, and reading it will help them...

No?


OK, I'll get my coat...

According to the owner manual you only need to unzip the plastic window when it is cold or the roof will be down overnight.

I almost gave up folding the roof after the first few attempts at rezipping the window until I discovered both doing it before doing the windscreen catches or not undoing it.

The one time I thought I'd be careful and unzipped, I cracked the window.:dunno:
Hence I no longer unzip.;)
