Roof pivot bush(?) missing

Postby cider_fox » Mon 31.08.2026, 20:06

Hey everyone, hope someone can help me!

One of the bolts in my roof came loose while folding the roof. It's about halfway along the drivers door. A couple of washers fell, and I've re-assembled it based on what I found but when I compare it to the other side there's a bush or thick washer missing. I can't find it in any parts manuals (although I admin I'm not great at reading them). I've attached photos, one of the side that's now missing the bush and one with the arrow pointing to the part I mean

Please could someone tell me if there is supposed to be one on each side of the roof? If so, does anyone know what part it is? Thanks!

Think that's a thick washer/spacer, not a bush. Just use extra washers to achieve the same thickness. The bolt screws into the frame.
