Roof Motor

Post by toolmanchris » Mon Feb 20, 2017 9:25 am

Well its happened
It was only a matter of time I suppose with the car not being garaged but the roof motor has given up the ghost.

I've been reading posts on here regarding replacement without removing the roof and relocating the pump to the boot and see that a guy called "Dave" from Harrogate seems to be an expert in this area and as I only live in Doncaster its not a million miles away.

So can anyone point me in his direction please?

Many thanks in advance

Marius I thought I might but my combination of short arms and stubby arthritic fingers might work against me in this case :wink:

Paid Dave a visit Friday afternoon and one hour later I had a fully working roof. Excellent job and his son also made me a cup of tea which is a bonus :D
Cant recommend him enough :happyclap:
