As I have driven 3 different murci roadsters, it’s not that bad the way I put the tip on was to put the side rails of first, snap the rear 6 buttons and the rest falls in place.
Our Jaguar Project7 is the same way…. 3 window sections made entirely from carbon fiber and glass and then a large fabric top. The sections really don’t line up and you have to tweak it around a lot to get it to all line up. Really a 2 person job… can easily take 20 minutes. Of course all the pieces almost fill the only trunk but you have to keep it with you in case of rain…. Sooo I never put it on. But it is SOOO bad ass to drive around! OHHH…Of course… the top has no insulation and is neither wind nor waterproof.
@@normalguysupercar if it was any less silly, it wouldn't have been a Lamborghini... I'm surprised you didn't have to boil something or put the arms down in a specific sequence like 2,5, 3, 1,6 ...
For more than 20 years Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster has been my dream car. Not any more. After watching this video, I am switching to Ferrari 430 Scuderia 16M. Thanks mate for opening our eyes and saving the pain 😇.
Check out ammo, NYC and Obsessed garage for some waterless wash techniques. And seriously, if you keep the car, take it to an upholstery shop to have the interior done up in black with orange trim. It would look 100 times better.
How about a video of you and Meg installing the top while driving on the hi way at 70mph. I'll bet nobody has ever done that!! Come on Dan that would be epic!!
A lot of people complain about the cloth roof on the Porsche Boxster Spyder. After seeing this, I realize they have no idea what they are talking about.
I know you have the x80 and now I am seeing a wakeboard and wakesurf board in your garage. I think you should do a wakesurf/wakeboard video. Ashley kidd as a guest too!!
Boy o Boy ! That is quite an Operation to install the Cover lol 😂👍 You wouldn't want to have to do that in a Super Hurry, Looks pretty darn Good after the Wash 👍
What's the story with the 488 next to the Merci??? That top is very similarly fitted on just like on my Jeep Wrangler... Does the top and hardware fit in the trunk?
It's no wonder that Murcielago spiders are for sale 10 to one coupes! Also, I'm surprised that no after market solution for a semi rigid hardtop has not been developed!?
I guess you gotta pray that it doesn't start to rain when you're out with the top down, and that you find a covered area to spend the 45 minutes to put the top on, sheesh.
I don't know you put it on and took it off with one hand,,,,,,,,, I thinks you just wanna keep it. You can always tell when Dan loves a car. You would be bat shot crazy for owning it.
I'm pretty surprised that nobody has ever produced an improved aftermarket version that works way better than this factory abomination - they stand to make a small fortune, given how popular the convertibles are!!
So to wash the car... you would need a good portion of a day to istall,wash& Uninstall the toupee top. Also garage it because Don't live were it rains alot. "Because Lamborghini convertible"
That cream interior really needs a gooood scrub. Actually I wonder if you wont be interested in color changing the cream bits with a dye....will be good youtube content also.
To the best of my knowledge, I don’t think there is a hardtop for these. The aventador’s have them but I’m not sure there’s an aftermarket hardtop available. It would be a good market though because every single one of these needs it. Haha. … I guess Lamborghini thought it’s a roadster it’s not supposed to have a top. We just do this as a courtesy to say it’s there.
@@normalguysupercar I can imagine...plus whats not evenful about driving a topless V12 Lambo, will put a smile on my face all the time; but hardtop for me please 🙂
haha, google average price for used 2006 mucialago....... googles answer ."The value of a used 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago ranges from $28,048 to $46,890, based on vehicle condition, mileage, and options."
A car that drowns out conversation with the struggle and strife? I'm there, i want one...the top no thanks. Get Meg do a female install and time it, right up her alley, what a laugh that would be.

Imagine doing this in a rainstorm with a supermodel that is absolutely no help.
Lol no kidding. You'd be wet and so would the interior of the car
Why even have a supermodel?
@@Destroyer-Grizzly-BIH IKR
😂😂
cmon, it's a fine toupee
As I have driven 3 different murci roadsters, it’s not that bad the way I put the tip on was to put the side rails of first, snap the rear 6 buttons and the rest falls in place.
Ah. I think now that I've done it a few times it isn't so bad

Yeah sounds about the same lol
In all my years, this is the actual 1st time seeing this top installed. Really cool, but a pain too
Yeah it's pretty silly

Great video, absolutely love it
Thank you
Dan, you are now qualified as a valet parking attendant in Monaco.
Lol

Lol you're welcome
Good job, and mostly with one hand. A lot easier than an F 50, and no stinking hydraulics. Got a love it.
Yeah it's not bad once you've done it a few times

I don't really like using the waterless washes
always thought this was a convertible lol. but im used to putting the wrangler top up and down, so, no worries
Ah yes.
Love the Murcielago, scared to own one. Needed a reliable lambo.
Bought LP560 gallardo. Awesome ride
Good choice!
Great job cleaning that toupee! U made it look new/black again!
Thanks! It needed a bath bad
I love the description "Toupee"!!
Lol yup
How about a video of you and Meg installing the top while driving on the hi way at 70mph. I'll bet nobody has ever done that!! Come on Dan that would be epic!!
I don't really want to die
A lot of people complain about the cloth roof on the Porsche Boxster Spyder. After seeing this, I realize they have no idea what they are talking about.
Correct. Lol
I know you have the x80 and now I am seeing a wakeboard and wakesurf board in your garage. I think you should do a wakesurf/wakeboard video. Ashley kidd as a guest too!!
I tried and failed to get up. Lol
Hit up Ashley Kidd. She is a pro that lives in Austin.
Boy o Boy ! That is quite an Operation to install the Cover lol 😂👍 You wouldn't want to have to do that in a Super Hurry, Looks pretty darn Good after the Wash 👍
No kidding!
Sure does make you appreciate ferrari hard top convertibles and the easier roof panels on the aventador roadsters
Yes
please consider giving some ride alongs, I'd happily pay a hundred bucks for a 20 minute toodle around :)
Eh I'd rather not risk having it get wrecked or whatever
Crisp video. Mind sharing the setup?
GoPro 10
What's the story with the 488 next to the Merci???
That top is very similarly fitted on just like on my Jeep Wrangler...
Does the top and hardware fit in the trunk?
488 is sold but getting some parts
I have never owned a rag top. Now you got me wondering how people wash their cobras, and RT-10s 😁
Lol yup
Kinda like setting up a camping tent the first time! 😁
It really is
It's no wonder that Murcielago spiders are for sale 10 to one coupes! Also, I'm surprised that no after market solution for a semi rigid hardtop has not been developed!?
I believe there are hard top aftermarket products but they aren't cheap.
What an absolute nightmare. But also comedy gold, lol. I can't imagine Murci owners having to deal with this every time they washed their cars.
Yup!
Did you get that building from the video before?
Working on it
The Murci toupee!!! :)
Yes indeed
Be careful - in all likelihood it will break while driving it before selling and then you're going to be stuck holding the bag on replacing things..
Honestly that is a concern
Wow! I am not sure which is worse - the Murci top or the 550 Barchetta top. Both look like trying to put shoes on a Rooster!
Lol
Basically, by the time you've got it up, the rain has stopped.
(And your car then looks like it's wearing a toupee!)
Lol yup
yeah no, i want the hard top!
Yeah
You made this seem much harder than it actually is
Well I had to film and only had 1 hand
I guess you gotta pray that it doesn't start to rain when you're out with the top down, and that you find a covered area to spend the 45 minutes to put the top on, sheesh.
Right?
That's even more involved than putting a soft top on an old Jeep CJ. 🤣
Lol
The super car goblin
Lol
Like the early 1960's British sports car tops that had to be assembled from a bunch of bows and canvas.
Yup
That is a truly amazing Lamborghini. Hopefully it won't have the problems the Ferrari you sold back to Tyler.
Lol yup
Is there a hard-top available?
There are some made by 3rd party companies, very expensive though. the one i saw for sale was 16k euro
Yeah no OEM as far as I know
Yeah, I guess I'll have the coupe version.
Yup
A very important rare model, as the Bugatti Veyron... 🤔⌛💎
I suppose so
I feel like I'm watching a video on how to build the world's most complicated tent
Lol
This seems easy compared to the new Porsche 911 targa 😅
Oh yeah I saw that
Surprised there are not more scratches on the car from putting that fussy top on.
No kidding
Best country to drive Murcielago roadster WITH THE TOP DOWN ALWAYS. The country where it doesn’t rain. Which country doesn’t rain often?
UAE 🇦🇪
That's way too hot
@@normalguysupercar at least you dont have to put the roof up for pete's sake
Black F8 in the garage?
Already sold.
Ok the porsche spyder speedster roof is not much trouble compared to this puzzle.
Lol yup
God, what a PIA!
Yup.
Italian for Roadster, Sieve.
Yup.
I don't know you put it on and took it off with one hand,,,,,,,,, I thinks you just wanna keep it. You can always tell when Dan loves a car. You would be bat shot crazy for owning it.
Lol yeah I'm a fan
Just like a Jeep!
Yup
I'm pretty surprised that nobody has ever produced an improved aftermarket version that works way better than this factory abomination - they stand to make a small fortune, given how popular the convertibles are!!
Eh I believe there's an agreement hard top
HARD NO ON THE TUPEE
Lol
lol it looks like the Merci is wearing a toupe'
Accurate
You’re fucked if it starts to rain . Lol
Correct
So to wash the car... you would need a good portion of a day to istall,wash& Uninstall the toupee top. Also garage it because Don't live were it rains alot. "Because Lamborghini convertible"
Lol accurate

I'll leave that for the next owner
How much bro
It's sold months ago
Next time, to make it easier, just put the top together before attaching to the car...and throw it in the trash
LOL! Just use a plastic bag over the seats when washing it? ;)
Jesus Christ that’s a lot of work…..
Just for a top!
It's disrespectful to your viewers to film with one hand and without a camera person, subbed out
Lol ok bye bye

..I'll have the coupe please... 😶
Lol yup
Hardtop it is then 🙂

@@rockulikahuricane sorry, I meant id go for the hardtop/coupe Murcie instead 🙂
Yeah I prefer the looks of the coupe anyways but I will say driving it without the toupee is pretty damn fun
@@normalguysupercar I can imagine...plus whats not evenful about driving a topless V12 Lambo, will put a smile on my face all the time; but hardtop for me please 🙂
That car is porn in 4 wheels.. we can notice a bit of Audi influence in that as it uses am Audi key hehe
Yes it's already got some German influence
That's a lot of work just to wash a car
Yup
worse than my old 54 healy 104 in terms of difficulty in getting it up but not much worse
LOL
it seems like Lamborghini let a drunk intern design the top...
No kidding
Definitely not/never a fan of ‘rag tops’ 😢
Nope
It's clear that I wouldn't buy this car, the roadster.😁
It's... Unusual
haha, google average price for used 2006 mucialago....... googles answer ."The value of a used 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago ranges from $28,048 to $46,890, based on vehicle condition, mileage, and options."
Uhhhhh... I think it's wrong
should have make it like the diablo or aventador instead of this expensive to replace junk roof.
Yeah
So not worth having a convertible Murci. Coupe all day long with a manual.
Lol yup
Yeah......Sorry but.... F That!
Lol yeah it's less than fun
A car that drowns out conversation with the struggle and strife?
I'm there, i want one...the top no thanks.
Get Meg do a female install and time it, right up her alley, what a laugh that would be.
I like that idea
Where did you get the blue douche bag shirt??? Can I buy that?
We sell them on our website.
@@normalguysupercar Thanks. Let me know when they are back in stock!
For a 300k car..the roof is f stupid🤦
Yup!
Id just never put the top on it😂
Pretty much
Just like putting on a top on a jeep wrangler sport.
Pretty much!

Lol yeah my back hurts from leaning over
