re-roofing

[pugctif898pyy]

Hey Guys, i have just signed up to the forum. I have had my 1989 205 CTI for 3 years now, she dutifully comes out just before summer, has a full service, sails through an mot, then does about 500 - 100 miles, then gets put away again to hibernate. The problem i currently have is that she only comes out to play on Glorious sunny days as some not a very nice person did my roof 2 years ag, so, my question is, who can i take her to to be re-roofed, for a reasonable amount of money.........

I am london based, and the car is garaged in maidenhead, berkshire (My home town)

many thanks in advance for any suggestions

Nice home town (i come from there originally too). Um cant help you on re-roofing, but I'm sure that some of the other guys will help soon.

hi
there are a number of ways to get a replacement roof fitted:
buy a roof off ebay (prolly about 2-300 new...) and send it to a

garage and get them to fit it - easy and cheap

diy - the haynes guide isn't terribly helpful here tbh - 205tref can give you more info on that having not long done our CJs

or there are a number of roof repair kits, halfords does on and there are a few out there in ebay and the like
that one depends on how bad/where the tear is... (clear window sealant is also an option...)

the fittings can also rust - some supply with the roof others dont...

or the time old - gaffa tape... (which is surprisingly good! and watertight, though you have to watch it to make sure it's still intact) - we managed like that for quite some time

all that said there are places which specialise in classic car re-roofing in the south... depends on what you want to spend...

hope thats of some use
