Help to fix

Hi everyone ive some how broke the plastic channel that holds the roof onto the window.

It's snapped were the screw part is. For tje amount of tention you have to put on it you would of thought it was made out of something substantial ie powder coated ally with some foam inside to stop it scratchin not a piece if 1mm plastic.

Any answers to my problem?

They all do that eventually, don't worry about it it'll still be fine as it is.

I used a 1" piece of aluminium which I bet to replicate the same radius as the screen surround. I then drilled a hole into this to screw through the mounting hole in the screen surround. Held the roof in place at motorway speed.

Hope this make sense

Mine did this, so I cut the offending inch section out of the middle and put a press stud in the same as the outer two, as per the pics below.

Comnon problem then. Will have a look at getting some chamnel made. But the stud idea is a great 1.

Cheers lads yet again your all to the rescue ;-)

It's a bonus having the channel breaking,  you can now fold the roof up in nice small package.  A clip and thumbscrew can be made up to hold the centre in place.
