OK, still a pain in the ass. I have been doing it right. Thank god I take it off at home and hang it on a rack I made up. The 'boot'. I never get tired of hearing the trunk referred to as that!

Great demonstration. I have a 1970 with exactly the same hood/top. The car is also tartan red. I have noticed that the top shrinks a bit year after year. I guess it is because it is exposed to UV light from the sun. Regards from Denmark.

what year is the metal frame for the hood? Mine (1980 MGB ) looks totally different

Hi Norbert. That was a ‘66 B but I am not away of changes to the pack away frame. Mgsales have a screen showing different frames and years. Link below. Good that helps. www.mgsales.com.au/pages/mgb-c-v8-weather-equipment-hoods-fittings-hoods-1

Dave, I have a 1968 and this is same top I have. Doesn't fold back into the back seat. Needs to be stored in the boot or as us Yanks like to say "The trunk" Your step by step approach is the best I've seen and that's how I do it now. Great tutorial! Love your dog too!

I put the pack away hood up for the first time on the B today Thanks again David, could not have done it without your video ! I had a ‘67 B back in college and I think it must have been the fold away type , because I have no memory of doing this before

Thanks for your comment. I’d recommend leaving it up on the car as much as you can leaving them in the folded position does tend to let them shrink. I don’t think it’s UV. I think it’s just age of the material. Keep it installed , stretched out onto its pins and covered. You’ll get a good result.

Nice but I would recommend working on a table and not the car. Snaps from top can scratch paintwork on car and dirt from car can scratch lights (plastic) on top.

Why didn't you show how to lift the frame out of its sockets, pull it in half to fold up and put it in the trunk with the top? It only adds another two minutes. The total of both in the trunk adds about 3" of space. It was a design that didn't need improving.

Love the simplicity. It's very much like my MG Midget Mk I which had a spring loaded cam lock to compress the frame a couple inches to slacken the top before removal. It was way easier than the permanently attached one that came afterwards. When the time comes to replace the top, you don't have to hire a professional installer.

15 years ago when i first bought my Roadster i could not put the roof back up after opening it, Shortly after i removed the frame and hood sold it and replaced it with a rubber bumper hood and frame. Now im restoring the car im left looking for a pack away frame lol

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in EU :-( In Germany the Green party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 by reducing petrol stations to only one station per city... :-(

I don't see any need for all this elaboration and back and forth. The clips at the windshield are levered, so no need to do them too early in the piece. Spread the frame out completely, lay out the hood, secure all the back, do the big clips at the windshield, then all the other interior clips. MGB owner 1971-79.
