Refitting the Rear Roof shell
Tightening torque
Rear Roof shell - roof kinematics
The following is the Rear Roof shell refitting procedure for the right-hand side of the vehicle; repeat the
procedure on the left-hand side of the vehicle.
If the same component is to be subsequently
reinstalled, mark the positions of the
kinematics brackets on the Rear Roof shell,
as shown in the photo.
Disconnect the rear screen defrost connector (1)
and remove the cable retainer clip indicated.
Loosen the centre screw (2).
Remove any shims, noting their quantities and
positions, and undo the screw (2) 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.
The following operation is extremely
important in order to preserve the correct
preload and alignment of the linkages of
the Front Roof shell kinematics. When
removing the Rear Roof shell fasteners,
the Front Roof shell kinematics must be
in Coupé configuration.
Support the weight of the Rear Roof shell (A),
slide out the rod
and manually move the Rear Roof shell into
the Coupé position.
Loosen the screws (3).
Remove any shims, noting their quantities and
positions, and undo the screws (3) completely.
Once the Rear Roof shell has been
removed, do NOT move the relative
kinematics, as this may alter their preload
and alignment.
Slowly remove the Rear Roof shell (A), retrieving
any shims that were previously inaccessible,
noting their quantities and positions.
