Guys,
I need to remove the folding rear roof section in order to get the plastic window re-stitched.

The obvious bits to me are the (3?) allen/hex hedded screws at the base of the section, the two hinge bolts and the wiring for the interior light.

Is there anything else I should look for?
Help appreciated.

There are two bolts to undo on the sides of the roof, they are accesible through the access panels behind each seat, they are carpeted over and lift up, the bolts are not the easiest to get to though.

How is the exhaust now that its been done? it should be as loud as mine now!

If you need any help with the roof i've just replaced mine competely.

Dont forget the 3 nuts in the boot area,stick your head in the boot and look up inside towards the roof far most rear section,10mm if i remember and dont forget the wiring also.

Hi! Lee.
The exhaust is fine - get a little rattle with revs- suspect it's the pipe fouling the chassis (could be the perforated inner tube vibrating though).

Re: the bolts that was my mention of the 'hinge' bolts at the side and I see the other reply covers the 10mm bolts in the boot. I'm going to use Mark Chalk in the Millbrokk Business Centre to do the stitching. Had work done by him on my V8S and he did a nice job.

I replaced the nuts with wingnuts so much easier
