Guest demonteddy Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Hi, when the window on the rear passenger side is closed, its got a gap where it meets the roof at the side. It fits snug on the B post and the top closes right up. Yet I can fit a finger in where the edge of window meets the roof, If you can understand what I mean lol. If not I will find my camara later and put photo up. I know there is adjustment for the front windows, Is it the same for the rear? Also if there is and I move the window wouldnt the gap at the B post alter? Long winded question lol Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 you cant ajust the rears. does the rest of the roof fit ok? strange if it does, get a picture up please if poss. is the rubber seal that sits in the roof frame ok? would say possibly bent/out of shape frame but if it fits and closes ok at the front?

Guest demonteddy Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Hi yeah everything else fits ok. It doest leak anywhere. it doesnt look bent and the roof opens and closes as it should. I will put a pic up later today. I may have to put a bodge repair on it. Something like a piece of rubber seal where the gap is and maybe glue it to the roof. I do know its not the original roof maybe it might have been fitted wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest demonteddy Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Hi again, Looks like I have found the problem, Didint notice it before the roof gap where it meets the front screen isent in line. The drivers side is spot on but the passenger side has a gap. Looks like it must be twisted. How would I sort that out? Hopefully the photo's load up so you can see the problem.

Guest demonteddy Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Well I adjusted the cable that is by the hood clip and got it to close right up to the windscreen both sides But there is still a small gap. Reading on the other threads maybe the hood has shrunk, thats why it doesnt close. adjusted it today in a heatwave anyway it will be left the way it is now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 that is some gap! you dont want that with winter lurking! if its been stored with the roof down it might of shrunk a little. has it had a new roof at all latley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest demonteddy Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Looks to me like a replacement roof, the rear window has a different registration mark etched on it. I will keep my eyes peeled for a very cheap mohair hood and frame or a breaker with a good hood. But I intend to use it as a second car over the winter, I have no where to store it except under a cover on the drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
