hahah!! I always thought the roof was supposed to function in two stages by manually moving the centre bar! I dint realise it was meant to be a smooth motion! 🤣😂

Good shout. My 2001 MGF's roof has never folded down in one go - and I've had it for 11 years, now! - so I reckon this has to be done at less than twenty quid. Looks like a job that even I can do, too! Thanks for the heads-up. 🙂

Fitted the straps to my roof years ago but periodically lubricate the pivot point to keep the smooth opening of the roof

Hi Chris, I’m enjoying your channel. Thanks for your vids. I have to ask where your T shirt came from? Is it one you had printed yourself?

Thanks. 🙏 Glad to hear you’re enjoying the channel. I actually make the t-shirts myself and sell them on Etsy: gasketdesigns.Etsy.com

We clearly state in our ebay listing, that it is important to lubricate the roof frame pivot points (hinges) with oil (NOT WD40!) as you open/close as they become stiff, when dried out?

Should they be the other way up so the Velcro join is additionally supported by the roof fabric? ?

I think these come from mgfmania.com/ . The MGR part number for these is DJE000010 at around £27 for the likes of Rimmer’s although it should be noted that the OEM version doesn’t use Velcro so may last longer.

Agreed, mine lasted around a year. Two short bungees do the job a lot better and are still working 3 years later!
