viking Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 well as i was let down again todayi thought id get on with my roof. i did think id get the vents in, and leave the top bit of the roof off so when i take it for the head lining putting in and it was on his bench it wouldn't scratch the top bit, not that im saying its going to be scratched, anyway, got the vents in, then i thought to myself, should the head lining of gone on first then the vents could of held it down, then i realised the foam had to go on first so no, the vents went on first, so away i went with the rivet gun, only to realise when id put them all in that id not left the spare holes for the retainers to rivet on, on the rear ones, so i had to drill some rivets, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 having drilled the rivets out of the outer skin that were put in for transporting the roof, i then realised that it all had to go back on properly before it went for trimming as the long bolts and spacers would have to go in before the foam and lining, so had to rivet that back on not put then on yet though as i had to spray them first, doesnt sound much but with all the re-thinking iv had to do took over 2 hours, and the same again to clean my disco thats not been cleaned for a year .
