Default Time to get the hard top on

Well we had the first frost of the winter over here yesterday lads so i went home last night and stuck the hardtop on the car .... bit sad doing it cos i wont get the roof down til next summer but it kind of transforms the car and gives it another look. I'm thinkin that i prefer the look of the hard top on it, although ill prob be dying to get it off when spring comes around!!! Great to have the choice though

1st November is the earliest for me!
It's stunning today, the sun is out and it's still fairly warm

Apply a good bit of Shin-Etsu silicone grease. Best grease on the market and your creeking problems will disappear!

Thanks for the link - Honda Bushey said they stopped stocking

Ordered

The halfords spray was of no use - lasted 24 hours before all the creaks came back
