Ark Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 The battery won't go flat that fast - I left mine in the glove box, used it as required and took it indoors overnight to charge up about once per year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Well I tried my little 3.6v screwdriver last eve, and although its good at the initial screwing (oooer), I still need to use the wrench to do the last bit up, as its got to be really tight (oooer again). Can you recommend a suitable cordless screwdriver to do the job, as most are only a max of 4.8v, which I'm not sure would do the job. Having a torque setting would be good too.

Ark Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 My electric screwdriver has a manual locking function so you can use it as a normal screwdriver and get extra torque that way. It's a black and decker, can't remember the model, or even if they still make the same thing. Even if you have to switch tools, you're still going to be way faster like that.

AndrewOW Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Ok, I think I'll get the Metabo one from Screwfix, as it seems the most powerful and torquey for the money (£24.99), which means I can use it for other jobs too.

Faye Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 My aerotop came with the diagram as a sticker in the centre glove box. Each of the bolt positions are numbered 1. Centre bolt 2. Front right 3. Front Left 4. Rear Right 5. Rear left There are two sets of instructions after the diagram that use the number series, which looks like you take the top off in that order and also replace in that order (ie don't reverse the instructions). Always, always wind the windows down before removal or refitting- last thing you want is to slip and mash a window, plus I've found you get a better window seal as well. I'm very anti over tightening the top too, thats how stripped bolts happen. Keith has over tightened one of mine and its caused problems since, so be careful when using a leccy tool as you could be causing more damage. Just using the hand tool I've got the job down to no more than a couple of minutes, just take your time and practise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
