Spyder Convertible Top

[drewvr4]

Is a m%)$*(# f*$(#) to put a new one on...i mean honestly.

So what I am going to end up doing is posting some tips on getting it done easier, this wont be a walkthrew but maybe a little help to the future people that attempt this.

I bet it's not as much as a bi*** as a porshe's.

I've put two on myself, and it although it was easier the second time, it's still a pain. Did you put a black one on your car? That would look pretty good on your car.

i did mine this summer. 1st time. with two people it took about 5 hrs with a "small" error and a trip to autozone taking about an hr extra. Id say it was pretty easy!

Hey long time reader but not much posting.. Ive got leaks in all 4 corners of my top.. it only comes through when it downpours, do you guys know if this is just the seals? and how much of a B**** those are to fix. I'm relatively new to the spyder thing.. I had a 95 GST coupe and just got this spyder about a year ago.

i want to know how everyone secured the sides where the small rear window rolls up...i tried spray glue and did good for a while, but there isnt enough material to go where the old one went.
