Aerotop Roof Bolts - Help

Greeting all,

 

Just became the proud owner of a TT GZ Aerotop ( Import ) - luverly EXCEPT the rear left roof bolt is missing, and it rattles like hell!

 

My local Toyota dealer has really tried, but using my chassis number on his EPC gets a drawing bearing no relation to what I have got, and certainly nothing that even resembles my required bolt.

 

Help! I have no idea of the correct part number, where to find that out, or finally where to get this darn bolt!

 

Has anyone any ideas, has this happened to you? All the parts we have tried from the UK EPC are all wrong.....

 

THANX in advance, the noise is driving me mad and I'm fed up with stuffing cardboard into the gap

 

:help:

Hi mate, welcome to the forum.

 

Sorry I don't have the part number, hopefully someone comes along with it soon :)

 

If it's the same as the right hand side bolt it may be worth taking it out and showing it to a nuts and bolts specialist? Where abouts in Bedfordshire are you? I'm from Luton and there's a nuts and bolts specialist in Luton.

 

Good luck,

Ro

Welcome! Nice to have another member and with the best model of soop ;)

 

Follow CJs advice, call Steve Manley he's *really* helpful, knows the supra well and has EPC :) - he'll know exactly how to find the bolt and he'll give you a good price too!

 

Failing that, wait until I get to work and I'll post up the part number here for you :)

:) What a response! Thanks to all of you guys! I'll be trying to have a look at the weekend - I took the roof off totally, and its now in the boot, if the weather stays - so will it!!

hey all, yeah what an excuse to get the roof off, sun....in England!!!

 

Think we are winning, the bolt is not sold as a seperatew bit but a 'bracket assembly' that includes the bolt - nope they are NOT supposed to fall out, Lord knows where mine went, the previous owner didn't know either.

 

Again, thanks for your help - so different to some 'other cars' forums!

 

As for how much she's worth? No idea, but Jap Import ( grey ) 3.0L TT auto, 50K miles, M reg vgc, nice metallic midnight blue paint job, all the usual stuff and no mods ( yet ). I guess about £9.5??? but I'm sure to be corrected/educated! - Please!
