[DML] Re: T-Pannel Removal

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

On the several cars I have seen the "Tee" roof removed I never saw
double-stick tape. Probably a left-over from a dreaded P.O. Towards
the front, by the windshield, there is a piece of foam. It is usually
disintgrated into dust by now. It's purpose is to hold the front of
the "Tee" roof up. When it no longer does that the doors will rub on
the "Tee" roof as they open and close. You can use just about any kind
of foam that will fit. BE VERY CAREFUL OF ALL THE SHARP EDGES ON THE
"Tee" ROOF. After you remove the "Tee" roof remove the plate that is
duct-taped on. Clean out the inside of the roof and replace the plate.
When you reinstall the "Tee" roof try to center it so the gaps on the
doors on the top of the car are even so the doors don't rub the roof.
