HOW TO REMOVE A 2G DSM MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE SPYDER CONVERTIBLE TOP 4K | DIY 

I bought a 2nd Spyder thats why im here. the inside roof cover that snap into the rails, thats a noise insulation cover, mine was ripped so i didnt install it when i 1st did mine on my 1st Spyder 12 years ago, i found a used good 1 from another Spyder at junk yard later made a huge difference. 2nd that cable you cut...you need that, you needed it for reassembly it some sort of spring retractable cable that works with the converterible motorsand straps...that part you cut behind the rear seats was part of the rain/water gutter you need to remove the rear seats and it unhooks very easy to access, but yeah DSM parts are very rare and hard to find these days as more times goes on...

Well im blessed that I've found this video I'm a brand new owner of an eclipse and I have never worked on a car in any capacity so this video is a help anything other free tips would be phenomenal. I will have to take a Crack at it since mines is totally worse than yours. Again appreciate the video keep up the great work.

The GST spyder gonna be my first car, so I have to know this to change the top, thanks for uploading, sir.

hello friend it's a lot of work I congratulate you for your videos greetings from New Jersey

Hey man great video! 👍 when will the instal video be uploaded. Thanks alot for your help and keep up the great work!

I got the top on and together, but had to unbolt the last ram to do it. Can not get the support beam to reinstall or close my top. Please advise how to install the last ram. It will not shift all the way up to rear of the car

Nice and detailed vid, but damn man you made it harder than you needed to lol. Nice work though! Should have unbolted the last bow near the trunk area first - would have made things much smoother. As you mentioned, don't cut that black interior cover under the rear glass that mounts to the back seat framing - just gotta pull the upper cushion and it unclips around the lip area. Also, for those tackling this, be careful, be patient, and don't screw up that rubber drain channel that goes around the top well - it staples to the last bow and clips around the bottom of the body lip - it's not sold separately and if it tears, you get interior leaks galore.

It will be the same to replace a 3g. Can someone tell me if they are the same steps to follow please.

I need a video on how to remove the rear quarter panel window rod piece. I know it's a whole big piece with a plug into it

Thanks alot. 2g Spyder 4g64

Do you have a video of installing the convertible top on the spider?

My insurance company gave me 6.5k after someone broke into my car so I ordered a replacement convertible canvas and new bow arms and had a shop in Wisconsin install it for $1500, I've never installed a canvas but I installed complete convertible top assemblies before but its hard finding a 2g with a perfect top now days.

Are you still active in these spydees? if so, I need assistance or guidance.

I wish this came out 3 months ago, gave my car to a somewhat cheap shop and my top was kinda off center, also on ebay they sell those brackets u are missing. The spyders had issues with them bending

Where are you located at. I would pay to get my soft top replaced

Are you able to send me a picture of that interior headliner thing by chance? I'm missing that and am looking for one

I would love if somebody made a coupe conversion. Too many undesirable spyders driving around, they could be put to use

Buying black spyder 5 speed tomorrow rebuild motor new top $2500

I’m trying to change something because the rain comes in from the sides. Not sure if it’s due to the top or the rubber on the sides. Please help me ☹️

Is it better to leave it up or down?

Any way to not cut the rivets?

Ram...*bow

This is one of the worst to designs I've had to mess with. I didn't take it out, just trying to put the new top in. There's zero instructions already for this car. Fortunately, you're tear down video shows what I am missing. The staple line on the last rib, which you threw away. (?) I have to attached the top to that rib with glue and staples. If I had a time machine, I'd go back and punch a 2G designer.
