Advice Needed - Carawagon Roof Removal
Posted: Mon Nov 19, 2018 12:15 am
Hi All,
I have a 1967 Carawagon and the Roof Timbers are stuffed with the roof requiring overhaul.
I am wanting to the remove the whole roof from the vehicle side panels.
My question is, how do I do this?
Inside the interior roof channel/gutter I can access the nuts for the bolts that secure the roof to the side panels, but as they are old, they are somewhat seized and therefore the head of the bolt spins with the nut...
The issue is, the head of the bolt is hidden under Searle Carawagon specific trim (as per the pictures attached) and I can't see how this trim is easily removed without potentially damaging the trim.
Do the Searle side windows need to be removed first?
I am sure someone here has dealt with this jigsaw puzzle before...
Thanks in advance
Regards,
