BR.2 - REAR WINDOW SHROUD (Elise only)
The rear window shroud is a body colour composite panel which covers the seat belt mounting frame/roof
hoop, and forms a capping for the rear of the cockpit. The panel is secured by two brackets on its front edge
which are fixed each side by a single M6 screw to the top of the rear bulkhead panel and which are accessible
from within the cabin. On some cars it may be necessary first to remove a trim panel secured by five screws.
Note that Neoprene washers are used between the brackets and the bulhead.
Each rear leg of the shroud is fitted with a captive M6 stud, which locates through a hole in the clamshell
buttress, with the retaining nut accessible either from the engine bay, or wheelarch area. A foam gasket is used
to prevent chafing damage between the shroud and clamshell.
When removing the shroud, it is also necessary to peel off the rear weatherstrip from the front edge of the
panel, and to remove the two cant rail latch plates from their brackets on the roof hoop.
Note that on the Exige, the rear window shroud is an integral part of the rear clamshell moulding.
