Disassemble

It’s simple. Only we have to unscrew the screws all we see in this case were 14 screws. And there will also be removed “staples” that were 5, if it does not have to screw this and hooked to the ceiling. Also remember to withdraw lights according of polarities and the estate where they are. After falling out the roof withdrawn by the boot

Uncover

Arrancamos fabric and former vereís embedded in the ceiling that seems somewhat brown powder and is simply the old tail.

Here we must work hard with the brush give you give, leave nothing of this dust (the edges, too). Skip a rag over and when termineís must move his hand through the roof and look veís if any puntita that excel, remove it.

Glue

The spray has 3 positions (L, M, H) of less than wide.
Rociais from left to right the roof, when finished looks back on the tail undulations of the roof (but I did not do better) and finally the edges.
To glue the leatherette did above the sofa-bed Newspapers put on the edges so as not mancharlo, I was fine because I sure dammit not to be soft leatherette the fabric of the sofa. Rociarlo tail Similarly, a single pass is worth. Teneís to wait 5 minutes after spraying and the remaining 15 minutes had to be hooked, but the tail lose their properties.

4.Juntar roof and leatherette
Here comes when one of you comes to, because you feel that the leather will be towed and dammit to € 50 and has cost you… prepare a trapito moist with a head if you manchais tail or whatever, so I limpiais fingers in the wet and you volveís to dry.
Take each one end of the cloth and put it into their respective corners of the roof of the front. Another to take the other two llevandolas pointed to the rear of the roof, not monitor whether the coupling between their own material. Monitor much to begin to have gone home and do not go straight torzais not going to be you reach the end and you have material is twisted!
Go from the center outwards without stretch, which fasten itself, and gradually (by controlling the time). Especially go sifting through the palms by the undulations of the roof over and over again and go forward. All do with the hands reviewing and revising.
Completed this part turn to the ceiling and make the edges a little tivando and engaging, resiguiendo edges (NOT do a site, then another…). Back to turn and look again with his hand… puntita if it is any bad luck, nor are therefore once. With white is the most commonly seen.

Recortando and agujereando

With scissors cut the excess from the edges and tips to quit + / – plain. The edge of 2cm enough.

Now cut through the center to make the hole in the light. Fijaros the photo is a cut blade. First hecharle again spray glue and wait 5 minutes. Cut, stretch and hook. Go past the finger until it has veaís hooked.

Watch now missing the holes of the umbrellas. We will do the same… something tail, and expect hook, but veaís the edge chiquitin is sufficient, subject thinks that the screws

Now we take a screwdriver punch or something poignant (I recommend as punch holes but does cutting, I say the material will not unravel in time). And “click” where the screws have to go. Click on the part of the fabric for despegarla not subject the finger and go pull gently to not take off…

Wash pieces

Before putting ACONSEJO clean all parts of the roof? Facilismo. Grab a bucket hechale soap, puts the pieces back together and then hot water. Leave 15 Minutes removing the filth. After going rubbing with the mop and the same water and clarified, were almost… new piece of light frotarla with the rag mojandolo with soap. Shovel umbrellas, also with them and then mop water but all this faster so they do not absorb much water. Allow to dry everything.

Placing our roof

We look to our car with the roof upholstery and a screwdriver star or need to be more fair and glittering pieces better than us two people…
We started by the staples of pushing back the finger. Skip the cables by agujerito of light, is not going to be to put the roof and we have to dismantle it again, then put the screws of the umbrellas and we continue with the rest.
Then put on the light and brand! We already have new roofs and created by ourselves!
