Default Out with the old

Hi All
well the weather was good enough to let me remove my Headliner it was falling apart and dropping all over, I had found the rear sun roof seal was not in correctly and leaking, and the front sun roof was no even sealing on the roof as I could move it, and it never fully worked as I could never slide the glass back,

so out it came


I then removed the front sun roof and when I checked out the mechanism , I found the guide on the slider arm had broken, it a 5mm thick plastic pieces, with a 6 mm hole I made one out of an old bit of plastic, it worked fine the as I was about to put it back I noticed the drip tray drain point has an opening so I cut a couple more pieces of plastic and stuck the in place





I replace the drip tray and seal the whole tray to the inside of the roof, I then removed the rear drip tray and did the same, and blow out the rubber pipes before replacing them and securing with a plastic tie, the a hose pip on the roof to see if I had any leaks, and checked any water was coming out of the 4 drains all good so nex the headliner



not to bad, for a first attempt, I cut all the big opening with a single sided razor blade and all the small holes with a round point hot soldering iron,





OK its not perfect but its 1000% better than it was, I only lost 1 screw which I replaced from stock, the only other problem was the last Items I put in was the sun visor clips, I has missed the holes so burned them out carefully , the pushed the clip in, all good so far, then disaster, I had replaced the screw driver tip, for a new one not noticing it was a lot shorter the the original one I was using to remove the clip, so in do this as I pushed to tighten the screw in the clips I broke both of them .....

new ones ordered from Rimmer....Ill just need along screw driver to fit them this time..
