There are a few other videos around showing how much faster the manual roof in an NA or NB is than the powered NC one.

Also remember, roof down in an NA/NB takes about 2 secs --> click, click, throw.

Great videos.

My soft top strap enables the roof to go back up in under 5 secs too, and without putting my shoulder out.

how do you do it easily with a roll bar in the way? Used to be easy but now not so much

Do tell.

I've dislocated both shoulders often enough so that either one will now go out under very embarrassing conditions (putting a full bag in the passenger's seat from the driver's seat for instance) so getting out to put the roof up is normal for me.

I wouldn't tell too many people you have dislocated your shoulders putting the top down on your hairdressers car. Tell 'em you were chopping wood or something. :D
