Hi all I'm hoping there is somebody on here who knows a bit about the roof mechanism on a mk4 escort cabriolet.
one side there is a gap between rear quarter glass and the roof. I have tried moving glass, checked the cables which look OK although I haven't removed them.
I have the vinyl loose now and still the frame won't align on the passenger side. Looking at the piller the roof frame appears to be about an inch further back and I see no adjustment.

Any help appreciated, im starting to lose patience with it now.
Thanks in advance.

 

Find somebody with a copy of the official Ford workshop manual for MK3 Escort (unfortunately I sold mine) as this is well covered in there. Exactly same as MK4 installation.
Good Luck,
Cheers, John

 

thanks. I have a suspect bent frame according to a local guy who deals in old fords. I'm going to remove vinyl and take a look tomorrow.

 

Any updates mine is exactly the same

 

I fitted another frame and its ok now, probably should have replaced vinyl as well as its a little tight.
