A tale of two roofs

reckon you'll need to cut a hole in your roof for the poptop to work properly ...

 

what the eye doesn't see !

 

I'm now getting down to the swearing,7 of the bolts that hold the frame to the fibreglass have sheared off and 1 won't undo or snap .

 

bit of refurb required there then....assuming you intend to use filler over the glass, Plastic Padding do a plastic filler that is more flexible than standard bog....

 

Stick with tradition, use a well known brand, I swear by 'Wob'.

 

bought this stuff from halalfrauds

 

Your not hanging about are you!!!

 

Do you need to take the frame off??

 

yes to get the canvas out and the new one in

 

Fair enough

 

wish I'd left the bolts on the frame now ,and just cut the material out with a knife ,then fixed a strip along side the frame to hold the new material,.
now I will have to dig out the bolts from the fibreglass and insert new bolts with reinforcement

 

Broken bolts now ground out of the resin

 

Are the heads of the bolts buried in the resin?

 

those washers with the holes in had a bolt protruding from them and they were bedded in resin ,the replacement is going to be a small bolt and repair washer with extra holes drilled for a better grip

 

Repair washers drilled

 

Fitted to roof along with fibreglass matting

 

Good work, have you considered glassing over the old vent holes

Also what about doing a vinyl wrap on it instead of painting it?

Good work by the way, you are cracking on at a pace!!

Are you goung to put a spot of weld on the bolts to capture them?

 

Those drilled washers have set my OCD off.

 

I'm putting new vents in
