Nice one. Not a nancy anymore… [:D]
Yes they do look good with the hard top but until the MK3 they detract from the versitility of just the rag top. However I do appreciate that I am fortunate in that my MX is a toy to be used and enjoyed only when I choose to get her out of the garage. If I drove her as my main car well I may take a different stance.
Enjoy.

hi Caroline…funny you should say that! [:D]
saturday i went along to the tech meet in Basingstoke that Harco had invited me to. had a great time, they were a great bunch of people and i even had a slice of pizza. i wasn’t the only person there without a toolbox fortunately!
i had help taking the hardtop off. it wasnt that hard it was just that previously i had been lifting when i should have been pushing a little harder. anyway then it took a couple of us to clip my softtop into place. it is in really great shape and i have a feeling that it hasnt been used much over the years. we left it in place for an hour or too.
today sunday i took off the hardtop and off i went. eventually i thought about getting some shopping but didnt want to leave the car open. problem was i couldnt get the softtop to clip onto the top of the windscreen. it has been folded up for years and hasnt stretched enough to reach and fasten easily and even though i am no 85kg weakling i couldnt pull the roof enough.
so i abandoned shopping went back home and put the hardtop back on. scratched my car when doing it as well [::(] so i will wait til i have help, at least 1 each side, then put the softtop up and leave it up until it gets used to the idea!
my problem probably is that my cars been used in the main with the hardtop on for years. if you dont have a hardtop (im guessing here) then probablyyou wont have a problem. itseasy to lift the softtop up, so if it doesnt spring back too much whenyou unclip one side from the screen then it will probably be ok. just have a couple of people on standby the first time you try it.
cheers and good luck!
