rear section removal

[paul ds]

hi all I have removed all the carpets from the car and seats ready for refurbishing ,and replaced the dash all going well so far (except for grazed and cut hands)just having trouble with rear roof section removal, the banana shaped section on the interior I have taken the two screws off left and right but the three allen key fixings just keep turning and nothing seems to be happening is there something I am missing, as I need to remove it to fit the carpets under.

There are 10mm nuts you need to hold on the other end. If you remove the cover above the fuel tank you can feel them. I clamped some small vice grips on the nuts and just undid the cap screw until the nut was off. Haven't put it back together yet but will prob. Start the nuts by fingers then fit the vice grips and finish tightening. Good luck.

Look in the boot, there are nuts on the back of those allen bolts (might be a two person job)
