Anyone done a DIY cab roof install?

Stuff me young man .. that is unlucky ..
I bear in mind the age of these cars and things do happen that ive never seen before .. this being one of them .
My feeling as is yours i expect is that it was already " worn " and the stress of the new roof was too much for it .. cant really think of anything else as its only the roof fabric that puts pressure on it .
As usual though .. hell of a good fix . :thumb:
@ jotaking .. bless you but i do it for the love !! and the occasional nice comment
EDIT ..
Just a thought .. the cables on the rear section ( ones you unclip to lift the rear screen ) they are adjustable , 13mm bolt , .... perhaps slacken them right off .. i had to do that on a Boxster when i couldn,t get the new roof to shut .

Length of those cables seem fine and everything now seems fine. You know when I fit those guides on upside down - I checked one of those out last night and it was bent. Don't know if this happened when I fit them upside down and also if when it jammed it did some damage then. Anyway, all sorted now so just waiting for the next hiccup :grin:

Osh was waxing lyrical about your engineering skill on our recent Euro hoon and his super slick S/S kit :thumbs:
