Thread: Discovery TDi Roof bars

i was thinking of removing it but after a closer look i think i cam to the conclsion that the roof has an arc in the centre which is only just below those bars so i think they are more there as a protectant than anything else.

But am probably wrong 8O

go to http://www.discoweb.org/ click through to tech section and browse down to "roof rail removal" (cant seem to link directly due to frames :x )there is a pictorial guide there

here's the link http://www.discoweb.org/roofrails/index.htm

I have recently put on roof rails on my Disco 1 - you need to remove the window pillar trim, grap rails, trim around the seat belts - not all that hard to do - very, very carefully pull the headlineing down a bit and you should be able to get at the nuts that hold on the rails - they dont actually bolt to the roof panel but a reinforcing panel inside the roof.

Once the rails are removed, what do you intend to do with the four holes in the roof - suppose those old fittings to cover up old aerial holes will do but it will look a bit odd.

Hope this helps
