Bit of advise (a bit late now) make sure the rear screen is Warm before you put it down. Its a good idea to let the heaters warm the interior first.

But if its cold in general take your time with the screen as its the same with Boxters, MGf's etc anything with a plastic screen really.

Hi Nathen, surprised to hear you got rid of the RX7, how is the S2000 suiting you, btw don't use the roof until it's warm

Going through a lot of cars aren't you, CRX, RX7 and S2000 in 2 years.
