I want to go off-roading in a Freelander

Just seen today a proper soft top-used-sold on EBay for £410 !!

Ouch! Think I'll just keep the hard top.

Took the hardtop off today to put on the "soft top"-think it's probably the first time it's been fitted. Don't think it looks too bad.

I wonder why they didn't put a window in it?

Probably on the grounds of cost.

I'm not sure it's designed to be a permanent fixture. The name Shower Cover kinda suggests that it's temporary. Maybe only for use when parked?

Is that some kind of insurance, in case it gets wet and the doors fall off?

Not really. It stops the plush carpet getting wet. Freelander's can't be hosed out in the same way that a tratter can. Kinda helps keep the doors on, don't you think

Not sure if the newer tratters are as hoseable as the old ones. They have carpet, and electronics!

And the doors stay on tratters, but when the frames get rusty, the doors tend to droop! Or flap!

Freelander has been sat in my garage for a while now-not going to touch it till my Disco2 v8 auto is sold
