Lift the hood and peel the fabric strip off the bottom of the metal hoop (which sits on the bodywork). Pull the glue off the fabric, clean the metal and use a contact adhesive like Evostik to bond it back on.

thank you for your help. the car is in the body shop. the drivers window will only go down half way. then it catches on the rod that the door button sits on. one of the clips that hold the rod in place is missing. any one know where i can get new clips ?

I guess you didn't take it to a Lotus garage (they should get one from Lotus). Try SJ Sports cars, although I'm not sure which clip. If it's the butterfly clip that usually goes, then they are really cheap.

Cheers,

thanks for the info. i got all the clips (5) from sj's. as for the roof i have repaired it and it looks good, not to hard a job but to do it right it took 5 hours. i will wright it up and send it to Geoff with some photos asap.
