Removing the Front Roof shell
If the Rear Roof shell has already been removed, fit the specific Front Roof shell kinematics connector
tool to maintain the preload and alignment of the kinematics.
The following is the Front Roof shell removal procedure for the right-hand side of the vehicle; repeat the
procedure on the left-hand side of the vehicle.
Remove the RHT headliner elements (
The following operation is extremely important in order to preserve the correct adjustment and
alignment of the linkages of the Front Roof shell kinematics. When removing the Front Roof shell
fasteners, the relative kinematics must be in coupé configuration.
Move the RHT electrically into the Coupé position.
E6.03).
If the same component is to be subsequently
reinstalled, mark the positions of the
kinematics brackets for the Front Roof shell,
as shown in the photo.
Loosen the three screws (1) fastening the Front
Roof shell kinematics to the Front Roof shell
(A) on the right-hand side.
Remove the fork shims (2), noting the position
and quantity for each fastener screw.
Undo the screws (1) completely.
CAUTION
Danger of accident! At least two operators are
required to manually move the components of
the RHT roof, working slowly and in a
coordinated fashion.
Slowly lift the Front Roof shell (A) off the relative
kinematics, retrieving any previously
inaccessible shims, marking their positions
and quantity, then remove the shell from the
vehicle.
