Roof and liner on hood

Postby dickendoe » Fri 04.05.2012, 07:31

Hi,

my recently delivered car has a good hood, suspect it is pretty new. But there is no handle for lifting it, though there are flanges to screw something to, and there is no liner.

Was there a liner? And any thoughts on where to get hold of a replacement for the bit that is missing (presumably a panel with a handle built in)?


Thanks

I am not sure the roof would fit into its stowage space if it had a liner so no, it never had one.

Thanks - should there be a handle for pulling the hood assembly out?

Thanks Ray, that is a big bit of trim to be missing!

I think the reason it's missing is breakage, they seem to break at the 3 screw holes and along
the edge of the latchs.

Anyone got a picture of the whole roof from the inside? Mine has all sorts of straps dangling down, not sure where they should be

Have a look here and here or search though my posts using the word "elastic"

Let me know if anything's not clear.

Great stuff, thanks Ray, will use to get to know my hood a bit better. Will also start my quest for that missing trim panel!
