October 24, 201411 yr I just got a RA roof flap for my wagon :) :) :) but how the hell am i going to fit it? There is no going back once the cut is in is there? Measure - Centre line and CUT!! dremmel should go strait through or need a jigsaw?
October 24, 201411 yr Did you get the roof lining as well matt? If so could you take a measurement off that ? As for cutting it out best of luck buddy I struggled with cutting the rear bulkhead to fit the 6x9 in my saloon lol
October 24, 201411 yr I've never done it sorry :) But as always welcome any pictures of a good job or a bad one :D
October 24, 201411 yr Harsh gambit ! If in doubt measure and measure again, then get somone else to go over your measurements who doesnt have wonky eyes from looking at it to hard, [emoji51]
October 24, 201411 yr see if you can get a nibbler instead of jigsaw, or take time with dremmel - you can always get it reversed by a plate and some welding / brazing rods. good luck matey!!
October 25, 201411 yr Don't think its a simple as just cutting a whole in the roof. Ok this is a new age but I doubt its that much difference. http://www.scoobypedia.co.uk/index.php/Projects/InstallingASpecCRoofVent
October 25, 201411 yr One thing I did when cutting a hole in the wing of my fronty was cover it in masking tape. Made the marking out easier and the drilling/filing process (I didn't have a hole saw so had to do it the old fashioned way lol) much easier. Once you have the centre line you could always measure the diagonals to test it is square? Cheers and good luck :-) Cheers Alan
October 26, 201411 yr Author I cut my defender years ago ! That seemed thicker steel than this tho I was only 20 years old and didn't care
October 27, 201411 yr I had a van like that didn't care and all I had to do was drill a hole :D Oh I did put a spoiler on another car that was my main toy at the time was pretty nervous about doing that. I would have a look at that bit's you get with it and should be able to see the best one to use as a guide. I think I would be tempted with a body shop though :) unless it was going to cost silly amounts.
October 28, 201411 yr Author It arrived yesterday , ran home from work and lined it up I don't like it ! Lol
October 28, 201411 yr Lol guess it's a good job you haven't fitted yet... Or is that what you're saying you have started to :D
