Its fairly easy

Remove the actual roof- self explanitory, strip all mechanism out again self explanitory

To remove the cage, there are a few spot welds to locate and drill out then heat the bond to get it to drop out- dont go too hot or you will damage the roof ;)

Without making a mess of the origanal skin?? Now that's tough! Mine is Ok but not easy as the roof is very wibble wobble in a Rolf Harris " have you guessed what it is yet" Style!

See the thread below - there are a couple of pics on my website - see www logo below

Cheers and good luck
