Up to page 10 in the tech section, still not found it.InimiaD wrote:There's a thread somewhere on here about that subject.

Slide the rear section on first, then the front section. Don't forget the wiring for the courtesy light.
A smear of vaseline? can be used if the headlining sections get a bit stuck against the cant rails.
I think that's what was in the thread if my failing memory serves me correctly.

Get someone else to do it
My least favourite job ! Nothing like scratching up fresh new paint on your resto

Is it really that difficult?. Everything i touch seems to be a major task and take ages.
Got to give the can't rails a quick clean first as there is a bit of excess waxoil on them.
