Hi,
This is my first time on Pistonheads, great forum.
Can anyone help, I am rescuing a Griff and need some advise. I want to remove the rear section of the roof (fold down) are the bolts inside the car or are they inside the boot behind the petrol tank. Any help would be greatly received.

There's 3 non-captive nuts inside the boot above the petrol tank and the three hex head bolts you can see in the back.

There are also 2 screws. One each side.

Best of luck. It's not the easiest job in the world!!

Thanks for the reply, do you have to remove the petrol tank to get at the nuts, the two screws are they the phillips type in the leather trim or do you remove the leather trim and then it exposes the three hex bolts as described.
Sorry they are not jumping out at me.
Thanks for your help.

The leather trim comes off with the hood. The hex bolts should be visible (well, if your hood is the same as mine)

You don't need to take the petrol tank out, but it's a fight to get something on to the nuts.

Yes - you've found the screws.
