Details sent, re the stip along the front, that is the easy one, just remove the strip of metal, put some mastic in and just screw it back again slowly doing up all the screws so the the power locks will just lock OK

I don't suppose someone could send me those details too?! mattpat@gmail.com

The front seal on my R129 roof popped out while it was stored in the garage for the summer and I'm struggling to get it back in. It sounds as though the gap can be widened by loosening the strip of metal somehow?

Thanks

LOL, I have to admit, I don't have this problem either, but I wanted the info for my library just in case.

I do whoever have a broken lower tensioner cable, has anyone replace one of these?

I have sent another one to you,:D

Hi,

I can see the last post in this thread was a while ago, but if you are still here and active is there any chance you could send me these instructions as well? Sick and tired of my hard top leaking when it rains.

Thank you in advance :)

My email is: trd_gt@hotmail.com
