I picked up my hard top from Williams on Thursday crazy2



There's a thumb-sized fresh air gap in the window rubber, both sides.
The nearside rear post mount doesn't lock into its slider.
The nearside window isn't flush with the seal.
oh, and it rattles when driven.

I wonder if anyone else who has a roof, has a roof that fits?

It'll be fine, once it's all fettled.
But it's not the ownership experience etc etc...

===
Along with the stand, It fitted comfortably in the back of the Avantime - you wouldn't want to try to fit stand and roof into anything less than a large estate car.

The stand is a thing of beauty: wonderfully crafted, beautifully finished.
Though I did wonder if the wood might have been stained to match the car's wood?


===
The roof isn't the colour I ordered. (Hey, shocker, when you try to go off piste with the factory :-) )
However, I like what they've done, and will stick with it.
That said, if the factory decided that they knew best and were going to ignore my spec, I'd have expected some sort of communication.
Except of course it's Morgan, so I'm not at all surprised.

Lovely colour.


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

A soft headliner, with a thin insulation layer as well.
It's much quieter than the soft top.

I drove the development car to Sweden with a hard top. It had to be taped to the rear- but this was a prototype. I'd really like to see a sliding soft roof incorporated into the hard top to really make it worthwhile- so I'm sticking with the soft top for now.
