As the title says really....ANYONE know how to fit one or know where i can get any tips....

Cheers

I swapped mine and it was just a very simple bolt on job although the new one came already on a frame so I didn't have to fit the roof to the frame. The only tricky part were the exposed screws around the bottom of the rear section as they pass through some flat pieces of aluminium and were totally solid.

You'll learn how to fit the new one by removing the old one

ok thanks,someone told me that i'll need adhisive to glue the rear section??,is this true???....,
thanks for the help..

When I removed mine it did appear that the fabric had been glued to the aluminium panels but it wasn't still stuck when I took it off and when I put the new one on I didn't stick them back on as the fabric is held in place by the screws and pressure between the panels and the rubber seal.

I can take some pictures of my old roof if you like to show you what they look like when removed.

Yes please some photos would be really helpfull......im planning on changing it tomorrow......with a bit of luck!!!

Hmm if you've got your new roof isn't it obvious where it folds and where the screws go? Or is it a brand new roof with no holes or anything? As that really could be quite tricky and I can't really help as all I did was swap my horrible old roof for one in better condition which was already on a frame.

yeah i have a second hand one with the frame....it should be straight forward to fit i think...just wanted some advise thats all.......did you need any special tools???

Nah, it's bolted on at the sides, where the hinges are, and there are the visible screws around the rear and that's it.
