Steve W Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Anybody got pics to hand of the aerotop roof section when it's IN the back, and/or the fixings in the back with the roof section NOT in there ??? Want to get a feel of how much room there is UNDER the section and where "clamps" are mounted to etc. [OR... how many "Aero"-heads don't even USE the clamps any more ? do you just sling it on back seat ? in a bag ? etc etc] FatS.

Faye Brother Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 These any good to you, Steve? Haven't got any pictures of the boot/fixings without the roof in there, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 No, No, good start "Faye's Brother" ( ). That means the "front" mounts are on the Solid bit either side of the rear seat ? and i'm hoping the rears are mounted to the BACK of the boot (?) Soooo, in theory you can remove the Spare/Polstyrene Bits etc and have SOMEspace below the Roof Section for a minor bit of shopping.... ......OR......a teeny weeny Sub-ie Poohs ?!?!? [ BTW Did they actually DO an Aero with Tan/Cream leather ? or is it UPgraded ?.. ..LURVVVV Tan Leather.....you *$%@&* ] thanks . . . . FatS.

Faye Brother Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Yep, the rear clamps are mounted on the back part of the boot frame. Reckon there'd be a small amount of space underneath the roof when it's stowed if you remove all the gubbins underneath the carpet. Not a standard interior, by the way. Fortunately, Scooter (the previous owner), has impeccable taste and left me with a UK interior which makes for a very nice contrast with the colour of the car. If you don't get inundated with replies in the meantime, I should be able to get a few more pictures of the boot area tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I have a made to measure sub box in my spare tyre well that sits exactly in the area under the carpet in the boot. If someone doesn't offer me some reasonable money for my car soon as is I'm going to start flogging all the extra's like this box. As far as shopping in the boot under the roof goes I wouldn't bank on getting much under there really, Just sling it on the back seats. You'll find a gibson and boyne re-trim just the ticket if you like a bit of alcantara or tan leather Oh thats something else I'm consider part ex for a standard set of leather seats.

colsoop Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Rays the roof had an install done that allowed him to fit the roof in their as well as the sound system, i think he has some pics in his vb garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to take a picture when all the rubbish was removed from the boot, but hopefully this one will give you an idea of the space between the rear clamps and the boot floor, i.e. not a lot and certainly less than I thought there was from memory.

Steve W Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 Nice one(s) lads So it clamps fairly low at the back, but reasonably high at the front. I'm sure i'll be doing SOMETHING under there OK. (REALLY hate the space-saver anyway, and can keep the tools/jack in there WITHOUT the poly-bits) Can't wait to "fiddle" now Ta again everyone. XXX.
