Roof in the boot
Discussion
It is easy to put the roof in the boot
Provided two things :-
i) you know how to do it
ii) The flap over the fuel tank is in the right place... You probably do not realise that it is a flap.... The petrol guage connector is behind it. The flap is the width of the boot fibreglass covered with grey felt , it hinges upwards.The corners may not be fitting properly into the corners and may need a bit of fibreglass removing so it sits snuggly.
To put your roof in the boot follow these instructions:-
May sure the notch is side nearest to you
Angle the righthandside down 10 degrees to the horizontal ,angling the roof at 45 degrees to the direction of the car ,slip the right side as far as it will go. Then whilst holding the left side slightly high, rotate the roof , slowly lower so it goes under the left hand boot edge.
Piece of piss never had a problem... just be careful not to scratch your rear lefthand wing with the metal edge of the roof (take of any sharp edges with a file) .

Never had an issue. I suppose you just need to master the technique but they did say there are no two TVR are the same. How about do something with the carpet lining?
I do not think you own a Tuscan Convertible, your profile photo shows Mk1 Targa and the roof is totally different.Gassing Station | Tuscan | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
