Sean d progress thread

Hi Sean i searched on here and found best practice was to remove all the mounting covers which if you have pulled the lining there will be off, loosen all the mounts and fit the roof, loose fit the front bolts and align the front and nip the front mounts leaving the mount bolts still loose.
The rears have alittle side to side movement on the rear mount its self but not much the roof should align perfectly with the b pillars and the over hang each side the same.
The height of the rear is adjusted by the pins in the hardtop its self there is a castlated nut undo this and you can alter the height. It needs to sit on the corners at about 6.5/7 mm i think its some daft figure like 6.2mm. I cut some spacers and its pretty close make sure once set it all bolts down fully then tighten all points.
Its not a hard job but it can be fiddly getting at the mounts but a man if you capability will breeze it :thumbsup:

Really keen to hear about the rear window, ours needs resealing as it weeps in the top corner.

It was a pig to get out mate, the angles around the tight bends where a pain in the ass, it took us almost an hour with a cheese wire
