More sliding roof refurbishment progress:
The inserted panel has now been overhauled (I was able to re-use what was there) and has been re-covered. It was a job I didn;t really enjoy. The first bit went like a dream, doing the 'first fix' of the vinyl over the entire frame, but sorting the corners and then opening up the panel space was nerve wracking. One tiny slip of the knife and the whole job could have been ruined. As it was, I came close a couple of times. Doing it the next time would be easier, without doubt, given the first experience, but there is no way I intend to do this a second time...
and not a very good shot of a 'first fix' in place...
