I have some cars with the roof rods still fitted, no idea if they are different for auto and manual roofs.

I have some cars with the roof rods still fitted, no idea if they are different for auto and manual roofs.

This car is a electric roof (push button by the gear stick)
Currently it’s a manual roof due to push rod broken. Thanks.
any idea on part number?

Leave it manual would be my recommendation; less is more sometimes!

You'll need a hydraulic cylinder if the ram has snapped part no 54348410307.

Take the clip off and the female section pulls off, you should then be able to get the remains of the rod out with a vise, or vise grips, maybe a bit of heat.
If needs be you can buy similar from here:

Your problem is the rod is part of the ram, you either need a replacement ram from Andy, spurs fan in a coupe, or you weld a new threaded section . For that you’ll need Notherm, or similar heat dissipation compound, or you’ll likely kill the seals in the ram.
