Calling all North-west Tiger owners - soft-top help

Hi there. I could do with some assistance from any Tiger owners who live fairly close to South Manchester (say within an hour's drive). Basically, I bought my Tiger in March and, having tried a few times, I can't seem to get the soft-top down far enough to put the metal panels back into place. What I'm hoping for is for me to drive over to some helpful, local soul who can then show me the correct technique for folding the roof away. Many thanks in advance, Bob

Check that the soft top side panels are not caught between the two side aluminum rails located in the top well. If it is, you can never put the top down. The side panels should hang over the side rails. Sometimes when a new top is put on the installer makes that mistake.

Interesting youtube video, always wondered how to safely store and fold the softop. Now I know - after all these years
