First time was a nightmare. All the zips were jammed gutters grabbing etc. Took about 30 mins to close it

Remember that the canvas hood needs to stretch and settle the first time - takes about a week in the upright position.

Also, a good trick with the zips - the side windows, line them up with the snap popper nearest the tailgate, snap that in and they'll be perfectly aligned - just take your time with the zips the first couple of times until the hood relaxes.

With the roof bars on I've got it to about 5 minutes up/down now!

EDIT - My double entendre detector is cracking like a Geiger counter at Chernobyl right now.

Hmmm must try that. Got the roof off my L Series one I've just picked up so I'd hope it doesn't need to stretch [emoji15]
 
Freelanders and Vaseline should never be mentioned in the same sentence!!![emoji16]
Erm, very true. ;)
I was just thinking everyone has Vaseline at home for some purpose and it's only purpose is to lubricate making it great in tight situations. :bounce:
