I’ve posted this one a dozen times. Well, maybe not a dozen, but a lot. ;-)When I Googled for pics of the tool, one of my own posts came up fourth in the search results. Beat out lots of retailers.
Anyway, this will help you fasten those snaps on the windshield frame, from inside the car!Available lots of places, especially boat product retailers.…[Read more]

I recall British shows in the ’70’s where a contest was held to assemble their top the quickest with a water hose trained on you.

First time I used them was on Wednesday on the way to the Pittsburgh Countryside Tour because it rained all the way there. It’s a pain in the behind and you do wet getting in and out. In my car I have to put the front tabs into the channel, snap the front tab on the roof to the top windshield frame, get in the car, zip the top of the curtain s…[Read more]

Curtains into the front of the windshield frame? That’s a new one on me. I’m trying to visualize getting into or out of the car. Failed.Not very MGTD like: you’re supposed to get wet when it rains. ????

Since it has the Pope’s nose and emblem, it is a good deal. I think I paid around $400 for mine, without them. But, mine was is usable condition. This one requires rechroming.

My side curtains fit into the channel in the windshield. They are cut out in 3 sections and fit around the windshield wings. Later today I will take a pic a post it here so you can see what I mean.

Charlene and I finally got back home last night at 7:30. Literally 3 minutes ahead of our guest, for whom fortunately I had set up a car pick up at the airport or he would have been waiting for us for quite a bit. We had a great time at the tour. It is unfortunate that we didn’t get more of a chance to chat with Ed and his wife, but at least we…[Read more]

OK we made it to the Century Inn last night in Scenery Hill and met Vicence briefly before the tour and then just after, when he tapped me on the shoulder to say goodbye. Big props to him and his wife (?) doing the long drive to do a long drive. Very sorry I did not make more time to sit with you. The Countryside Tpur was a hoot. Lots of twisties…[Read more]

I just read through the FiberFab, MiGi and CMC assembly manuals and found nothing there to help. They all infer the curtains are fully finished off.
Didn’t need to read the Classic Roadsters Ltd. Manual. I’m intimately familiar with that one! 😉I suspect, as you do, that your roof is not orginal to the car. It’s aftermarket, whether MG Ma… -
Paul Mossberg replied to the topic Side Curtains — Help! in the forum VW Based Kits 10 years, 5 months ago
Ditto most of what Roy said.
I’ll assume you have “front” correct because the curtain fits the rest of the roof cutout in this orientation. Also, the leading edge of the window portion is typically straight, not curved.The leading edges of the curtain looks unfinished to me. Are the curtains longer than the side openings? By that I mean, when… -

Many of out TDr’s have problems with side curtain to windwing interference and we each have different ways of tackling the problem. (It sounds like your TDr is not a BCW or an Allison, both of which have real MG-like windshields.) Also, there are a lot of differences between our tops and our side curtains. I have never seen side curtains that…[Read more]

Hi guysWe are a group of people that may well be able to somewhat understand what it took to complete this car. Our cars came as whole entities or as a kit of parts. This guy had to make/find/modify parts as required, an incredible task to undertake for anyone. His biggest break in my opinion was finding the body in Italy. That alone brings him…[Read more]
