Hi
Could anyone tell me if they know someone in the south west.reliably able to fit a vinyl roof and whether they've had any success using vinyl for the c pillars? I'm loathed to damage mine removing them for the bodywork without being sure there's someone out there who can do the roof and fit th c pillar trims another same time
Also, is it essential that the gutter trims are removed for the vinyl roof?

Re: vinyl roof and c pillars
yup, the gutter trims need to be removed, but they are easy with an old fashioned can opener that fits neatly under the trim and simply pops it off. I was nervous about this myself, but it was a painless exercise. You don't need to pop the gutter chrome for the C pillars though. Bigger job is removing the windscreen if you are doing the whole roof..
martrim do the C pillar vinyl, if you do a search on the forums under "Martim" lots of helpful advice will come up. Fitting the C pillar vinyl is relatively straightforward, contact adhesive and clothes pegs for the win. Mad Mart had an excellent guide on how to fit a new vinyly roof, again a search will get you there. Quite impressive to see the vinyl being stuck down. Seams or no seams ?
Good luck
