Tamora Roof

[joe c]

Anyone come up with an easier way of getting the roof panel in and out of the boot, or is there a mod for it. Its a pain as everytime It pulls the rubber seals away.

It is a pain, best thing to do is to get some longer bolts and some spacers for the top mounting plate of the gass strut. It enables the boot lid to open a little wider and so makes it easier.

Hope this helps.

I know I am dumb, but where do you get those from? I heard they amended the boot design but I was going to mod mine anyway.

[bumcrack]

Go to your local Iron mongers or BQ do all sorts of blots, washers etc

[nubbin]

Also cut away some strategic bits of boot carpet and replace with plastic film (I'll post a picture) and the panel goes in and out very easily.

Thanks for the tips,

Don't the extended bolts affect the lock and catch?

[aromaT]

Thats what I always struggle with - I dont see how it closes if you extend those bolts.

I extended the hydraulic arm instead by puttin some washers betwwen the mechanism and the screw on end joints.

Only needs to be fractionally longer.

cheers

I did the same as AromaT, doesn't change the lines of the boot and is VERY effective. Remove the gas strut, which has a good amount of thread at each end, then replace putting a couple of washers at top and bottom. Works a treat.
