  17. Good work,looks superb,looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.

    Leaking Roof

    Could try a tip someone gave me, sit in the centre of the back seat. put your arms up the joint in the inner liner to feel the metal bars, then push the bars forward. I did not help mine as it was 15mm away but for small adjustment it may help. Also i assume its an electric roof,have you checked the fluid in the pump in the boot, if low wants to be topped up. Ford fluid expensive ,vw the same but cheaper (so most people say)

    Leaking Roof

    I took the roof off and tryed to get get adjustment on the hinges but my roof still came up 15mm short. Mk5 roofs are not the best,my mk4 has never been a problem in 13 years of ownership. Still not got my mk5 on the road.

    Leaking Roof

    Is it vinyl or mohair,vinly ones tend to shrink (had same problem on my mk5) i tryed everything to get mine to close,bought a complete second hand roof in the end.
  22. Have a good break everyone,hope to see a few new members at our shows next year. Regards Ian.
  23. Give Maido a pm, he may have one,breaks cabs for a living.
  24. Might be worth having a look for a replacement tank with pump still in(second hand)
