How to install the convertible top on the Austin Healey Sprite MK1, part 2. Bugeye build episode 135

How I completed installing the soft top, or hood, on the Frogeye Sprite. It was a still a little nerve wracking cutting the holes in the brand new top but it all worked out in the end!

    Top looks great! Your "Twist fastener" is usually referred to as a "Common Sense Fastener"

    Looks good Ian! There’s always gaps no matter what you do. The top and side screens keep most of the rain out but not all of it. 😂

    Thanks Chris. I like to think of it as weather resistant rather than weather proof!

    Can you get in and out with the top on? I can barely get into/outof my Midget with the top up. It's easier to pop the hood up in the air, then climb in and lock it back into place! About as graceful as a baby elephant on an escalator, but it works.

    I had to figure out a new set of contortions to get in with the top on!!!
