STEP 1

First remove inner side trim if fitted and roof sections Your start point is the single skin of roof next to roof support bar inside the vehicle as shown in the picture and drill two small holes with 3mm about 2ft apart If your fitting two roofs then you drill two holes other side of the same support bar for second roof fitting start point Now you can draw line with marker on roof to join holes this is your first start line for marking out now find the centre of roof and draw line from start line to rear of vehicle take the metal roof frame and mark centre both sides if working on a 90 roof unit fit long ways on 110 roofs units fit side ways once you have marked the frame place on centre line and lining marks up on centre line and front edge of frame on start line this should now be central you can now draw round frame using it as template if fitting second roof to a 110 its the same process only you mark centre of roof towards front of vehicle

We do not recommend cutting out in one go but remove small sections at a time once the hole is cut drop the frame into the hole if its tight adjust hole and make sure frame is square and try the glass in at this point if happy with fitment remove glass and frame So you can now take your headlining and fit back in vehicle you can now mark out headlining using hole as a template then remove again for cutting out hole later place the frame back in the hole then with masking tape you can tape around frame and also tape the flat edge of the frame as this saves time doing it like this then remove frame again for prep work
