rubo Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) Hi all So this is my attempt to get in and out of a Seven:P I'm 1,88 meters (not quite sure what that is in inches:P..about 74 inches?) Haven't worked on the way since, but I think there may be a better way. I was quite surprised that it infact wasn't that difficult, once you find a way. Anyway hope you like it:) In: [/url] Out: Edited August 30, 2009 by rubo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Try putting your left foot/leg in first, then sit on the side of the car, then duck your head and upper body in, then drag your right leg in after you. Sort of a human jackknife. Let's face it, tho, there is no graceful way in or out with the top up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried that, but then the piping that is on the inner"carpet" on the side broke..so..quickly decided not too. and I'm a little to high for that / i can't bend that much:P..maybe yoga could help? hehe I found out that the way of just climbing all the way on the passergerseat and then put your legs under the steering wheel and then slide down, is pretty good too.

MHKflyer52 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Those videos are the main reason I have not made a top for my 7 and besides here in Southern California you really do not need one anyway :smilielol5: and I am 6'2" or 74 inches tall also. Have to admit I do not think anyone else has posted a video of themselves getting in or out of their seven on this site before which I find very cool and informative. :seeya: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to prove that a 74 inches tall man actually CAN get into a Seven with a roof on.. Future buyers shouldn't be "scared":smilielol5: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKANSA Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Ha ha ha ask southwind25 about the birkin s3 top and how it does in the rain. I was home when they came back from a raindout trip. They were soaked to the bone complaning about how the inside of the car turned into a shower stall. If i rebember right they stuffed a towel where the cover meets the top of the wind shield... I thought it was funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
