Hi there all!

I am intending to remove the Factory fitted roof bars from my disco..

Has anyone done this and how?
Is it a headlining out job?
How many holes and what size holes are left in the roof to fill?
Any other info on the subject would be most helpful?

Many thanks and I await your replies!

If you manage to take them out in one piece and they are not too hard to do I will have them to fit to mine!

Hi

On the TD5, it's certainly a roof lining drop, but not a complete removal. Two holes are left from each rail which are 1 3/8" diameter - a suitable rubber plug fills them nicely.

You have to take the map pockets and grab handles off then pull away the pillar covers.

This may help you; there is an article on http://www.expeditionexchange.com covering the TD5. Look under the tech section.

Thanks James........

Excellent Info...........

I havn't got round to getting the bars off yet, but i will see how the weather goes.

I am also trying to time it so I can remove and re-seal the alpine windows in the roof while I am attacking the interior trim.

Thanks again............
