The best part was the opening and closing commentary. Very to the point! Well done.

This video was an immense help and I was able to correct the problem in minutes. The tip in an earlier comment to put a cloth under the elastic strap to prevent losing the screw was a well advised tip.

Great video and tips on the Velcro tabs. Just remember to redo the Velcro tabs back up with the piece of rope secured behind them.

Thanks Great job. For the record, you don't really need to remove completely the T15 screw ( mine is also an 987 ) since it's a pretty tight space to put it back + you don't want to drop it. An elastic with button holes can easily be hooked over the t15 screw in one of the button holes + button hole elastic gives you some kind of adjustment for the future whenever the elastic will loose it's stretrch.

Great video, thanks. Clear and concise which allowed me to get the job done with the minimum of fuss. It's a bit of tight squeeze to get in there but punching a hole in the elastic beforehand with a leather punch then quickly melting the edges to stop fraying made it easy to hold the screw in the hole. That reduced the chances of dropping it in the depths of the hood - not recommended! The first one took me about 30 mins following your video but the second was about half that. If you have a long flexi grabber or magnet to hand it might help just in case something falls down like the T10 bit or socket. Failing that, a bit of blu tack to hold the T10/socket on gives a bit of security.

Thanks for the help! I did mine with a safety pin on the cloth side, which allowed me to easily tighten it up when I found it going wrong about 1 in 4 tries. Elastic needs to be just under 4" from the bolt to the cloth, so a total of 5" works.

Great video. Can see what's happening better than a lot of the other videos fixing this. One thing that worked well for me was using a paper hole punch to make a clean hole in the elastic.

Thanks for the video. It really helped and made the job very easy. I used a double layer of elastic that already has button holes in, so the screw position can easily be adjusted. Mine is a 987 and the screws were T15.

Hello from Adelaide Australia, thanks mate for a really good video; easy to follow instructions and some useful tips. Thankyou!!

You nailed this video. Very clear angles and you've made it look easy. Must have been really satisfying to watch it close the first time.

Love the red seatbelts!

I've completed the job, thanks for your considerable help. Torx bit on a mini ratchet - brilliant.

Great fix, thanks for the details, will get this into my diary. Realised that I can also replace the elastic for maintenance mode at the same time. My sewing will be worse than yours, but as long as its effective. Cheers.

I’m replacing my top that’s a good idea I’ll replace that also while I have the top off

I also call 5 inches 7, so all good. Thanks for the top tip 👌

Very useful video, thanks. In my case the elastic still seems okay so I'm going to try adjusting the length by pulling it up one or two holes on the Torx screw. The tool you use to access the Torx screw looks really useful in the confined space. I need to get one of those.

nice!

In una qualsiasi merceria si può acquistare l'elastico da giarrettiera con le asole già pronte.

Thanks for the video. Your other viewers had some good ideas as well. I guess it’s my turn to give it a go. My only question is that I found a loose braided string or very small gauge rope that’s not attached to anything. I suppose I’ll need to find a KZfaq video for that fix, if I’m lucky. Wish me luck🤞

I saw your centre console, did you spray that up yourself? Mine is covered in a rubber material and is all coming off.

Is that Greta talking?
