Good work fella ;-)ORIGINAL: GeeForce Just got back safe and sound. 4 hour journey home in the pouring rain, which wasn't ideal but very much expected. But hey, I don't care...I'm officially a Spyderman!!! Too knackered to post pics, but certainly will do in the morning! Car is phenomenal & absolutely gorgeous []

Welcome onboard Geeforce. This may come in handy to refine your preferred technique [] (I don't fold the roof as many times but that's just my preference) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny8qcnhrkBs So say to lay the rear screen flat in the boot rather than roll it up, so that's what I do.

flat6 as a daily driver can you confirm if you think you could beat the speed (lack of) shown by the demo man in the video[&o] Anyone without an actual Spyder watching him would think we are all mad [ORIGINAL: flat6 Welcome onboard Geeforce. This may come in handy to refine your preferred technique [
] 5 minutes V about 45 seconds with electricity[] Only had my roof up once since getting the car back in Feb 2011 and that was to satisfy myself everything was OK as it had been in the boot for nearly 2 years! 
For sure daro. The 2nd video in this post below, from the previous page, shows how quickly in can be done[]

ORIGINAL: flat6 Couldn't let the occasion go by without a video, but they're becoming increasingly hard to find. Nothing much to take away from this one except his statement at 4:30[

Have to say that demo is like watching paint dry ....and not once does he have a smile on his face [:'(] I always tuck in the metal hook on the passengers side in the slit provided it stops it hitting the body work or side glass window . I roll the scarf up but not as he does i do it per the instructions in the card and book ,if your scarf is to be permanently left off i would leave it flat in the boot area with a soft cover to protect the plastic . Hope you enjoy the car Gee Force ...weather sunny up here today and tomorrow is to be 20 deg [] so i will enjoy it []
] so i will enjoy it []
So, has anyone checked the stats today as I submit post number 2990 on page 150 of this encyclopaedic Spyder thread? The roof videos amuse me - flat6 has a better technique than me with an extra fold that stops the risk of anything metal touching the inside of the boot lid. I always thought I did it as per the manual - which as Brian points out, is different to the video! I know that when it starts raining, my wife is a very adept assistant and we are ruthlessly efficient and back on the road in no time!
ORIGINAL: daro911 Are these car waterproof [&o] I am sure I read in the Spyder Bible not to be driven in anything other than dry conditions
You'll scare people off with talk like that! It's amazing though how no one talks about the roof concern any more now the truth has come out that it doesn't leak. Rather than journalist who tested it in the dry, took a guess after driving Morgans, that it must leak[][]
Doesn't this Spyder look really cool and relaxed waiting to be unleashed (in the dry)[8D]ORIGINAL: flat6 It's amazing though how no one talks about the roof concern any more now the truth has come out that it doesn't leak.

Looks like he has set of wheels for every occasion .thought all the US cars had Bumberettes fitted .Like the Spyder only badge but not the black exhausts tips prefer the chromed onesORIGINAL: daro911Doesn't this Spyder look really cool and relaxed waiting to be unleashed (in the dry)[8D]ORIGINAL: flat6 It's amazing though how no one talks about the roof concern any more now the truth has come out that it doesn't leak.

You want to treat your Spyder to a tidier garage [][][] I meant the thread stats flat6 but I have remembered how to check them myself now! I think this thread is now the Spyder bible!! edited to add - liking the Spyder only badge

Unfortunately slowly but surely Mrs S has infiltrated the garage and keeps nicking a spot here and a spot there [&o] I am planning an eviction day if I lose another inch [ORIGINAL: rob.kellock You want to treat your Spyder to a tidier garage [
] Brian, that red car does have bumperettes. The pic is taken dead straight on and does look like indentations but tell your brain that they are actually protruding and you'll see the bumperettes. It's a trick with the shadow and lighting that makes it almost look like it could be either[]

You gotta watch them like hawks!!
