It only took about 20 minutes, but heck I'm now suffering from bruised hands and arms. That will learn me to drive it when there was a cloud in the sky! smile

Must say once I got used to it, I don’t have a problem, unless the boot is full of course.

idea May be there could be a “How fast can you put your roof on competition” at the growl, do remember slow window racing in the past.

Now that would interesting.
Rules
Sat in car, roof in boot(not in bag as not everyone has them), rear section down with velcro pulled back.
Time ends when the roof is on, windows up, velcro sides in place and your sat back in the car.

guess the best time

I recon 2 mins 30 secs

I'd agree with the 2 minute guess. No great hassle really.

Great idea for the Growl !! (if its dry this year).

Well we could spice it up, say have hoses turned on after 2min? 2min 30sec? 3min?

My Chimp was so much easier to store in boot so my Griff targa panel is getting split at Surface and Design next week. Grand Touring in France in June means I need all the boot space I can find!!
