Fitting new Vinyl roof
Discussion
I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times, but I've recently bought a new roof, with window off ebay, but it didn't come with any fitting instructions! Now I know its not that hard, but just wondered if there was an idiots guide anywhere on how to fit the new hood. Before someone suggests paying to have it fitted, I'm trying to do this on a budget so would really appreciate any links or pointers.... Thanks in advance!

It's not particularly difficult - it helps to pay close attention when taking the old hood off the frame though. Take lots of photos in case you need to refer back to a particular detail.
Essentially, fitting is a reversal of removal as the Haynes manuals like to say.
I found it helped to temporarily clamp the hood frame to a workbench too so I wasn't fighting to keep the frame still all the while.
Some instructions here if you get stuck.
