Guy Vinall Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 I'm reasonably confident that I know how to fold the hood down, but my problem lies in tucking in the side windows in. I was led to believe that the fold in should be in the mohair between the rear and side to avoid creasing the windows? This is difficult because the Mohair & Velcro are thick. Similarly, are my poppet studs not quite in the right position, thus making the fold very difficult? I just used the old positions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Topoff Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Hi the corners of the side windows do get very close to the fold on my car too. I think that most are like this. On the video the only thing I do that they didn't is, if you have it, is to zip out the rear window and let it hang down over the rear trim panel. This may help with the folds and the fitting of the hood bag too. Cheers Laurence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TRTOM2498PI Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 Agreed above on unzipping rear window and letting it hang down. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guy Vinall Posted March 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 Thank you to all for your kind help. The video I have already, but the zipping down the rear window is a real help! Only have the new MX5 seats to fit in late April & away we go! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guy Vinall Posted March 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Well, well, the dropping the zipper window down pre fold in really worked. By myself, it took 6 minutes to drop the rear window & fold down the hood in place, fold in the side windows & fit the hood bag! I guess my wife and I will have to practice the Le Mans style, oh sugar its raining, get it back up routine now! Thank you to all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

duncan Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 I also unzip the window & drape an old towel over the window to protect it from all the stuff I push under the folded hood. Jacket zips, poppers or buckles can make a mess of the window. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
