After a suspension refresh (by Indie not me!) car needed 4 wheel alignment so got that done today. Great excuse to use the sunny weather to check everything was ok - cold dry sunny days take some beating😀.

a cheeky little 40 mile blast around the countryside.

roof down, heated seats and heater on flat out.

wonderful, just wonderful driving.

the day I even consider garaging my 987 over winter is the day it goes up for sale.

I'm with you beaks. I don't even have a garage so I may as well be driving it😀.

Got mine in June this year and it's taken me 5 months so I can't say much and if I'd been able to play golf (in Wales under lockdown currently) it probably would still not have got done 😆.

Seemingly common problem of soft top overlapping trim and thereby not sitting correctly. Seen previous posts on here and looked at YouTube stuff. First look inside hood indicates old elastic is in tatters so will need to remove torx screws and start from scratch. Into lockdown here in Wales from Friday so no excuse not to get it done, weather permitting.

Beautiful weather for a couple of days and got this job finished today - didn't need to remove screws as there was just enough old stuff left to which I could attach new elastic. Roof now sits perfectly but outside trim has been marked during the time the roof sat on the outside. Can anyone recommend the best product to refurb the trim please?

You will be doing well to lower the roof in Porthcawl in this weather 😝

You're right there! I live on Rest Bay, probably the windiest part of Porthcawl and the weather presently is shocking. May get a chance next week - fingers crossed.

Over weekend, black Renovo for roof followed by Fabsil Gold to waterproof and very pleased with results. Also washed seatbelts, slight improvement but need to have another try I think.
