MR2 Roadster roof removal guide

How to remove the roof on a 1999-2006 Toyota MR2 Roadster/ MR-S/ MR2 Spyder.
This is a fairly simple process can be done with one person but a helping hand to lift it off is handy at the end.
Thanks

I just pulled the soft-top from my 2003 6R4 manual. This video was a great help!

For a first how to video it was very good 👍🏻. Would happily remove mine now if I needed to.
Thanks for my spares by the way, exactly as described & well packaged.

I really enjoyed this video, not only brilliantly showing the process of taking the roof off but also the way you went about doing this job, GREAT video all round, on a side note I did wonder while you were undoing the 10mm nuts round the back edge under the glass you weren’t unplugging the heater window wires, I’m pleased you left this part in, as it shows it’s normal not to remember everything all at once, good on you
PS: Forgot to mention the camera work was good too

Thanks Andy, would have been a real struggle without this informative guide…

Very useful video. I've done this myself on a car I was breaking but I'll use your video to remind me if I need to replace the roof on my current car.

Good job 🎉

Great video, used it to change the perished drain bags on my mr2 recently. Saved me a lot of hassle (and money 😉). Thanks 👍

[@jimidasaint]

Any chance you’ll be doing a video on how to change the soft top material without removing the mechanism?

[@lolhahaah3305]

Thanks for that it is really useful for me to remove the soft tip.

[@davidd6091]

Excellent video, I'm hopefully doing this soon if my new roof ever arrives

Glad you like it

Thanks for the video appreciate that

Great Video!!

Hi Andy, how did you remove the storage compartment doors mate?

[@justinirvine8791]

PS I found a compact umbrella in my drain bag 😆

[@gamemastr7]

Once I dismount the soft top on the MR2 spyder, it STAYS dismounted. I'm going for a hard top only on the MR2 Spyder.

[@blackbox3030]

Big mistake. Driving with the roof down is one of the main attractions of this car. On a cold dry day it has a great heater.

[@gamemastr7]

@@blackbox3030 Nope, ANY car with a convertible top drags down the cars acceleration. Plus, convertibles are easy to steal for a thief. Hardtop FOR ME, is the best option. If you want the convertible, you do you.

[@bobcockwood]

Done this to 4 of my cars so far, watching the video just to get the satisfaction again haha

[@blackbox3030]

@@gamemastr7 I reckon the hardtop is way heavier than the soft top, so worse for acceleration. I agree about the security though - using the soft top definitely restricts where I can park it.

[@shaunhall1040]

This is what I want to do also, remove the soft top and just run the hardtop. I wonder if this is possible, and to reinstall the drain bags and interior without the soft top

[@andyl9920]

Tbh. Its actually a lot of work. Too many fasteners/clips and other parts to take off. Toyota shouldve made it easier

[@bobcockwood]

god forbid you try to replace an electric roof from a BMW

[@gsk5161]

WHAT???

[@SiameseFighter37]

good video but your a bit ruff

Я бы такому деятелю руки оторвал за то что он пластик бардачков на крышку капота так кидает прям на краску
