Anyone perfected a tidy CGT Ingress and Egress method?

Guys,

Has anyone got a perfect and easy method for getting into and out of the CGT with the roof on???

I've tried loads of different ways but they all seem to involve me dragging my feet over the sill or banging my head on the roof beam!

I've got a really efficienet and elegant method for getting into and out of the Murcie - which is easy in comparison!

Love to hear how you guys do it!

use the steering wheel for some support/light leverage..step over the sill with one foot and place your buttocks at the front of the bucket seat. then swing in the other foot and slide back into it. if you're really slick you can close the door at the same time.

Bum first into the seat. Careful one leg at a time over the sill. I had my door sills completely clear-bra'd so they wouldn't get messed up by the occasional shoe scrape.

Seat belt secured before closing the door to avoid the possibility of closing the door on it.

I put some clear bra on the door and all around the carbon fiber areas to keep them protected.

First, make sure the seat is all the way back. What works best for me is: place your left hand on the back of the door sill and lean on it, bend at your waist, lower yourself and back into seat butt first using the steering wheel with your right hand if needed for additional support, then swivel bringing in one leg at a time.

Convert to liquid metal, pour yourself in and then solidify behind the wheel. Tell any passenger to 'get out'.

Yep that's is how I do it too. I also clear protected the sills and door area since I am not always flexible enough to raise my leg high enough...
I learned NOT to put lots of pressure on the center console area to get out of the car (or in) I poped it off a few times and now I dont touch it.

I also try not to put too much weight on the sterring wheel.
