Default Roof catch

Hey all,

Quick question, hopefully someone can help out, the piece that the roof catches hook into when locking the roof shut on my drivers side is loose and wiggling about freely. It still allows the roof to shut fine but I don't think it is quite pulling the roof down into position corrently, I have been unable to check yet as it is pissing down with rain, but can this be tightened up or is it welded in there? Hopefully I explained what bit I mean well enough lol...

Appreciate any help.

Thanks

Sounds like it just needs tightening up. They are screwed in so all you have to do is take the sun visors off and then give the plastics a tug to pull them off. You'll see the roof catches fully then and be able to do them up nice and securely.

Thanks Floppy, glad to hear that

BSM139, from looking at your link I don't think that is the bit I mean, I meant the bit that is part of the window frame area itself that the catches hook into
