Guest roy1972 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Is there any where I can get fitting instructions for removal and refitting of the roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 you have to turn the t piece on the roof motor to use it manually. the roof is easy to remove, 3 bolts both sides behing the rear door cards and the cable that runs around the base has a small nut each side, oh and a few odd screws holding the inner lining in place!

Guest roy1972 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Sorry about that but already had roof down m8 problems with back window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lee81 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 When the roof has been off the car part of the rear frame can often get stuck leaving a big sag in the roof by the rear window. Undone the roof at the front then go inside the car and force this section out. If it won't stay in place then you may have damaged straps or frame which would probably cause similar issue. Need pics to give more accurate advise. Upload them photo bucket or resize to under the file size for this site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roy1972 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Will get pictures done today as it ain't raining yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshlad Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Near the rear shelf were the rooflining side trim is, put your hands up the sides and above the lining and feel for the roof bars then push them forward, i had the same problem after refitting mine, after a few open and closes it sorts its self out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roy1972 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Yes that's what I've done so it will sort itself out then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshlad Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 you might have to do it once more maybe , i did and then it sorted itself out, think it just gets stiff or if it doesnt work then as RSCAB said then there could be summat damaged or bent ... hopefully not tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roy1972 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 As soon as the bloody rain stops I will look at it and get some pictures of the roof thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
