A strange thing happened today...

Decided to take the roof off my series 3 today as it lovely out. It's actually quieter with the roof off!!!!
I didn't have to shout at my mate and he didn't have to shout at me!!
WOW!!

yeah , a lot better int it, my truck cabs quieter when open, must work like an amplifier and boost the volume. think it reduces the vibration too.

Weird, I have never had to shout at my passenger for them to hear me, it's relatively quiet in mine! It would be nice to have the top off for the summer, but I can't be bothered!

Only takes 30 mins to do, you should try it, and sod off LandyBird!!

When you take the roof and door tops off then fold your windscreen down you WILL change your mind I have and mine has not even moved with them off

Yeah, I don't have goggles or a leather cap thingy so I think the door tops and windscreen can stay on .

but you know i'm right mind you with the amount of water coming in with the fecking roof ON i don't think taking it off would make much difference to the Pig

Id fancy doing that on mine, on the hard top the seat belt mounts on the bracket to the roof , how did you attach the belts

Well it's a bit cheeky what I did, but it worked. I've got proper inertia belts with that bracket on the roof. Took the roof off and you know the little L shaped bits of metal that bolt down the front of the sides, I left them on the car and attached the reels straight to them. Looked a bit daft but i worked!!
Slightly bodged I admit but it worked.

I took mine off last year and it has not been back on the kids love it.
I did the same as you on the belts.
Enjoy the summer.

Mine has Lap Belts so i don't have to do that!

I think they were originally all lap belts?

I don't really fancy lap belts, rather not have one at all!!! My inertia 3 point jobs I got out of a VW polo that a mate was breaking and I just bent up some 5mm steel brackets to attach the buckles to the original mounting points. Works a treat!
