roof fitting issues

jackey boy · Feb 28, 2010

i picked up a bit of a project as semi build up series 3 on a nice shiny galv chassis its got a 2.5 d lump the previous owner had fitted the bulk head a defender one and it had the rear tub fitted basiclly no roof doors wings , ive fitted the door and wings but when fitting the roof today it would not sit straight on the doors unless i push the wind screen out, i have a feeling the defender one is slightly taller but have never compared it to a seris 3 bulkhead has any one come across this before and know a way round it or what to do

depender dash panel is the same hight - sounds like you just need to loosen it off at the 2 mounting points and shuffle everything around until you get a reasonable fit - don't worry that's all normal and is designed to test your stamina

anything is possible, you'll not be expecting shut lines like a merc ?

is it a series roof you are fitting? and is it a series split screen? because a series screen won't fit to a defender roof or vice versa

yes series screen and roof 110 one was a bit big and rangie wind screen was a bit wide. :doh:

no not expecting shut lines like a merc but il settle for not letting water in. sean have you done this before then if so how long do u reckon it took you

if it's the right roof/sides - then it's often no more than an hours work

but sometimes things just won't line up properly
