Cold weather engine maintenance
Hi everyone
The weather is bloody cold here in England but unfortunately I have to do some engine maintenance which obviously means opening the roof and folding the rear plastic window in. I am carrying out this work in an unheated garage and I am worried about cracking the window or the stitching. Apart from trying to warm everything up, are there any good tips as it will probably be open most of the day Thanks Walshie |
Why not try carefully heating the window with a hair dryer? Aftertop is in service position, you could continue by removing entire top assembly (if repairs warranted the effort). It Should take less than an hour to remove top and frame.

I live in CO and it TRULY can be bloody cold. I use a hair dryer, (not a heat gun) if I must open the top in the winter. Just be sure to be gentle with it, “karate chop” any horizontal creases and you should be fine. If it’s 45-50 degrees it’s not too bad. If colder, I would wait. Mostly because that’s just too dang cold to be messing with an engine! ;-)
