    Leaking sunroofs and headlinings

    Sorry, no photos, can just about manage a hammer, as for a camera...….. So the whole effect is very good, the slight flock effect of the bare headlining material looks great in pale grey, and it's only when you touch it that you realise there is no foam rubber back material there. The £140 was...

    Leaking sunroofs and headlinings

    So on to the sagging headlining. With the ingress of water and degradation over time of the foam part of the headlining, the fabric is bound to part company with it. Initially I have tried a spray headlining adhesive but this has proved to be a total waste of time, with adhesive everywhere you...

    I guess not a fan of Hilka then. Any particular reason?

    That certainly looked and sounded the business but unfortunately I received this reply from Costco when enquiring about the product: Unfortunately this item is now deleted and will not be returning to our stores. *please note this is always subject to change*

    Tool Boxes

    Not sure where to put this question and I guess it has been done to death in the past as well. Like many gutter-spannerers, I have amassed a motley selection of tools, distributed around the garage in various old cantilever tool boxes and buckets. I have now built a new triple garage/workshop...

    Leaking sunroofs and headlinings

    The sunroofs are back in with a good thick bead of that Tiger Bond stuff all round. Both main seals have been removed and the channels cleaned. On close inspection these seals seem in good condition. The glass fixing screws have been tightened (and resealed) to pull the glass down firmer on to...

    Leaking sunroofs and headlinings

    Sorry InterceptorX Some of what you say may be true, but it still doesnt make little plastic boxes silicone into the corner of a steel pressing designed to channel water away from the interior of the car a good design.

    Leaking sunroofs and headlinings

    The front sun roof is now completely out and I think I know sort of how it works, waterproofing wise. The main sunroof, mounts to the top of the roof. There is no custom silicone rubber or Nephrene seal around the outer frame to clamp down onto the roof with a nice groove in the moulding to keep...

    Leaking sunroofs and headlinings

    The headlining is now out. This helped considerably: http://blog.discoverthat.co.uk/2017/03/remove-headlining-part-1.html. Now the headlining does not come out too easily from the rear of the car if you have a 7 seat option, especially single handed as I am. But with a little fiddling it's out...

    Leaking sunroofs and headlinings

    Hello InterceptorX, I appreciate the ease of which you sorted your water leak and indeed the rear door seal looks correct and in position on my vehicle, but you may have noticed that I posted "Yes, the whole headlining does have to be removed as water ingress has caused the fabric to drop in...

    Leaking sunroofs and headlinings

    Progress so far: All the front is released, B post trim released OK, rear grab handles and sensor removed. Now for the rear. It looks like the headlining is held in at the sides by the rear window side panels, but RAVE does not refer to these. Is it just a matter of pulling the headlining...

    Tracking the easy way

    Well, as always I appreciate the experience of others and have taken the string route round the back wheels to the front, with a touch to the front and rear of the front tyre at the same time, indicating zero toe in/out. I will watch tyre wear accordingly. Thanks guys Steve

    Tracking the easy way

    I am having to replace both tracking and drag rods on my S2 and would like any advice as to the easy process to get the steering tracking as near spot on as possible. My intention is to line up the new to the old bars to get the dimensions transferred to the new rods. Lock the steering box with...

    Leaking sunroofs and headlinings

    Another one that has been flogged to death I suspect. I have water coming into the cabin via the seat belt apertures and guess the sunroof drain system is broken or suspect. Therefore I believe I have no option than to remove the headlining to get to the offending items. This looks quite a...

    Steering Knuckle Ball Joint Removal

    Right, job finished, just a matter of re-connecting new drag and track links, they were well corroded and ball joints passed their best, so complete replacements are to be fitted. I will track the front of the car with a piece of string from the rear wheels, with a bolt in the steering box in...
