Pictures of Baur roof locking mechanism

[ijahn2000]

As the title says.

Have tried to do a search, but can't find any pictures here or on google.
Just bought a Baur and am trying to get the roof locking mechanism to work. I believe I am missing some parts on my car, but have not been able get a picture of a complete mechanism.

Also I understand that there are two mechanisms. Mine doesn't look like this one.

Thanks

i have various Baur parts in stock, so shall try to get some photos for you in the next couple of days, although the one in your link looks like the only type i know of. it looks correct to me Ingo

We have a Dutch-based zoner,Bertiebaur? who usually is able to answer this type of question.

May be worth spending time searching the member list to trace him.

Apparently there is an early and a late model, which have a slightly different mechanism. Will post a photo of the parts I have tomorrow. But I also believe that the mechanisms are interchangable.

How much for the top part that is held down by the 4 screws and the counterparts from the roof?

Thanks

Hi Ingo,

The early system was used on cars till Baur-number B42265. What is the number of your car?
If it is an early bird, it should have this system:

Yes this is what I have got.
My car Baur No. is 41433.

What does the counterpart that is attached to the roof panel, look like? I only have two empty threads there. Also am I correct in assuming that the two systems are interchangeable, as long as I replace both the top and bottom half?

Thanks
Ingo

Hi Ingo,

At the moment I don't have the possibility to make a picture of it, but there are two clamps fitted on the roofpanel.

The system is interchangeable, and it is an upgrade to use the later system.
