Does anyone have a photo of the inside of a roof that Jack Smith (Swansea) has fitted? Specifically the position of the bar just behind your head, the one with the coil springs on one side and the tensioning straps stretching to the rear quarters. I'm not entirely sure my body shop has refitted it correctly, so I wanted to compare. The bar seems to be sitting well forward of the main rood seam above the rear screen.

Any pictures would be much appreciated.

Great, thanks caboose. I think I've figured it out. There were 2 things bothering me. One is whether the bar was supposed to be between the roof and the 'loop' of shiny fabric. It's not, looking at your pictures. However, I've worked out why the rear bar is too far forward. The tensioning straps are mounted too far forward on the rear quarter, so they're stressing the top of the mount point on the bar and not pulling the bar rearwards enough. Will drop the body shop an email. I'm sure they'll be happy to put it right, they did say to contact with any issues.

Thanks again.
