how long does it take you to.....

[MonTheFish]

take off and put on the roof on the elise? Is there somewhere in the car to store it when it's off?

[kenny]

30 seconds, roof goes in boot.

[s29ttc]

DEpends how oftedn you have done it. Takes about 2-3mins and goes in the boot.

[mac]

Depends on if it's an S1 or an S2 and then that can be sub dived into a long tail (early S2) or a short tail (current) S2

[BiggestNizzy]

S1- 2-3 mins whens it's dry and you packing things away properly, 30 seconds when it's raining

S2 roof's are a piece of p155 and can be done in 30 seconds full stop

[DavieK]

silly question but i assume you meen the soft top rather than the hard top ?

[MonTheFish]

Yip my mate was saying they were an ass to remove....in saying that he doesn't have one !!!

[meatball]

Hard top.....2min (for all fixings and outting into storage bag then carring into the house)
Soft top......seconds.

Agreed. S1 roof can be a pain, and take 2 or 3 minutes. S2 short roof is a piece of piss and is 30 seconds max. You can also take it off (and put it on with a bit of practise) from the cabin.

Piece of piss if you do not put it up in the first place..........

the soft top on my S1 is stored in the cabin behind the seats.

If I know that I am going to need a roof in advance I will often put on the hard top as this can be done quicker. Downside is that you can't store it if the weather improves.

Then he's never tryed fitting a roof to a caterham that has a rollcage

take about half an hour and you need strong fingers, a pair of plier oh and a hot air gun to stretch the fabric

But as a none elise owner the S2 short roof looks a complete and utter piece of piss

...the S2 roof can also be stored behind the seats!!

[smee]

Wait we're all missing a point here, why would you have the roof on in the first place?
