Bonjour tout le monde, j'ai une MGF de 1999 et j'ai commandé une nouvelle capote. La notice est très rudimentaire.
Quelqu'un a -t-il une notice plus détaillée et combien de temps faut-il compter pour la monter?
Merci de votre aide.
Bonne journée à tous

Removing the whole soft top
It is possible to remove your hood for the duration of the winter whilst the hardtop is insitu but you will need to have some tubular metal spacers made up to do it. Unfortunately, the bolts that secure the hood >frame also carry the rear mounting brackets for the hardtop.Once the hood is removed & the bolts re-inserted, the brackets rattle around due to the bolts not being threaded for their entire length. Four short lengths of metal tubing to sheath the bolts should do the trick.
Removal of the hood is accomplished by first unclipping the 5 retaining over centre catches around the underside of the rear screen then stowing the hood in the parcel shelf as normal. To gain access to the 4 hood retaining bolts
you need to remove the rear bulkhead (T bar). Remove the 3 screws from the pop studs (they are quite long), then gently pull the plastic moulding towards the front of the vehicle. It is secured with 6 plastic clips (like a door panel), 2 at each end & a pair in the middle. This should expose the hood bolts (& incidentally, the volumetric alarm sensor). Look for the hardtop brackets to see which bolts to remove, these are the ones that will need the spacers.
WARNING!, the hood & frame is a lot heavier than you might think, lifting it off of the car is best accomplished by two people as it's around TWICE the weight of the hardtop!, also, it is likely to move as you pick it up so be prepared to alter your grip.
