ditchman Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) tell you what............your roof is in good shape ? most of the safari ones i have seen are bent to ****...........that will look a treat when done............. when you assemble it back together...put something on the braces to stiffen it up and stop it vibrating on the true roof.....that stick on tape would do maybe...

ditchman Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) those are better pics......windscreen fine.. just the top bit which needs a set of pliers on it thats all.........as said yesterday check the underside of the window frame for the door for square ...and check the 2 bolt holes havnt tried to pull thro and keep on checking on a "dry fit"...before you put the sealing strip on.............but as i said the windscreen looks fine.....and as one of the other lads said "it will pull back into position...when you fit the roof"......... PS.....fit the glass when you have the roof on...not before.... Edited October 19, 2016 by ditchman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-wheel-drive Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 You have been making a good job of doing most of it with all well made replacement parts I am suprised that you let chimpanzees do the welding on that part.

viking Posted October 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 small problem with my wipers. as you can see the stem that goes through the bulkhead is round, in the book it shows some end bits with a screw in so the wiper arm can fit onto it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
