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
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.
Would you happen to know the part number or a replacement option for the 12mm nut and bolt that you removed after the seat belts. The one that holds the chassis bar in place. I can’t find mine for some reason
@@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.
@@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.
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
Thanks Andy, would have been a real struggle without this informative guide…

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

Great to meet you today Andy, rear panel fitted spot on 👍
Great video, used it to change the perished drain bags on my mr2 recently. Saved me a lot of hassle (and money 😉). Thanks 👍
Thank you so much for doing this, absolutely invaluable and much appreciated
Thanks for this, It's nice to put a faces to the name , see you both mentioned a lot on the forum with your parts and jokes. Thanks Again Take Care
Any chance you’ll be doing a video on how to change the soft top material without removing the mechanism?
Excellent video, I'm hopefully doing this soon if my new roof ever arrives
Glad you like it
Thanks for that it is really useful for me to remove the soft tip.

Thanks for the video appreciate that
Good job 🎉
Great Video!!
Hi Andy, how did you remove the storage compartment doors mate?
PS I found a compact umbrella in my drain bag 😆
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.
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.

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

Tbh. Its actually a lot of work. Too many fasteners/clips and other parts to take off. Toyota shouldve made it easier
god forbid you try to replace an electric roof from a BMW
WHAT???
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
