Hardtop driving

David Stroud IM Roadster DDavid Stroud IM Roadster DOttawa Canada '83 IM Soob

Had a chance to put about 50 miles on the car with the hardtop fitted today. Got up to 70-75 mph the odd time and hit some bumps here and there. No trouble with the top staying on. Not that noisy either and I still haven't installed any kind of headliner. I've given up on trying to do a nice job on the Alacantara material I had on hand for that and will likely take the easy route out and do the truck bed liner roll on stuff and finish it off with some SEM paint.

Got the rear glass in the top tonight ! HOT DAWWWWG !!!! Got two extra hands from Francine and it actually went in fairly easily. Slow and steady did it. Didn't use the weed wacker trick either. Soaped the bugger up and in she went, pried along here and there with a putty knife.

 

VW demos on utube show putting the gasket on the glass first then put that package onto the car but I did the reverse and found it easier. I was worried about this task and I'm glad it's over.

 

I'll get the side glass done for the doors early next week. Should be easy now.
