anyone know how the roof rails come off??
 
as above think my drivers side is leaking in :roll: need to take the rail out and seal it and refit, but looks as tho its bonded on??? :?

cheers Ad

adamski frst 12-06-2007 05:09 PM

oh dear god is it really like i was expecting :cry: the bloke at the local bodyshop reconned they could be bolted from the underside... but they look bonded to me :? ...

So were 100% sure its bonded yer!?

i will need the patience of a priest for this one i can see :cry:

Good luck pal :(

adamski frst 12-06-2007 05:34 PM

oh balls :cry: , on the bright side my boot will be spanking new by thurs :cry:

THE RADMAN 12-06-2007 06:37 PM

suppose they could be lathered up in sealant and then bolted on as well,but theyre going to be a right pain either way, maybe easier to fit new ones when you get them off,let us know what you find , and may the force be with you :cry: :cry: :cry:

cos jon 12-06-2007 08:29 PM

There definalely bonded on !!

GUZZLER 12-06-2007 09:35 PM

the roof shold be well sealed under neath the mouldings :?

THE RADMAN 12-06-2007 09:38 PM

hope the water hasnt got in and rotted through under the rail,that could be a nasty rust trap

adamski frst 12-06-2007 10:46 PM

well i dunno, nothing looks rusty all i know is before i taped it up i had water in the boot then when i taped it up i didn't :cry:
