Reassembling #3610

[Egenolf]

Pat,

the roof rail trim is not fastened with screws but only clamped on the edge of the roof.

That?s why they are so difficult to disassemble without damaging them.

The photographed items indeed connect the trims with one another.

Edit: sorry, I am on the wrong way, you did not mean the moldings.

Holger, thanks again for your responses.

I'm not talking about the drip rail covering.

My question regards the two piece assembled rails that form the upper channel for the windows. (1)See Parts Catalog Illustration.

Here they are together (2),

they have holes where fasteners are inserted (3)

to attach them to the car body (4). Also notice the drip rail cover to the right of the channel.

I'm trying to get the exact specifications for the screw or whichever fastener attaches the double rail set to the car. The holes in the car seem to me to be very small relative to the openings for the fastener heads in the double rail sets.

From the sheets supplied by Barry Wolk: those screws had the number 52726-S8 #8-15 x 1/2. The inner side garnish moldings had the screws 52726-S7 #8-15 x 1/2 with washers 44710-S8. Maybe this can help...

Roger:
Good answer. Are those sheets on the forum website? If not, could you please post them. Many thanks. John

[Pat Marshall]

Roger, thanks for the information. What John just posted - Same here!

[Roger Zimmermann]

I will not...Because those pages are already on the forum, since 2010! Have a look here: https://www.markiiforum.com/showthre...I-and-Mark-III

So far, I haven't been able to open the Blue Prints file. John, have you been able to do it?

I am on a fixed data plan and have exceeded my limit. I'll try to download later at a public WiFi hotspot. Stand by. I'll let you know tonight. V/R John

Pat, as the file is very large, you have to wait some minutes. My PC is not a bad one, I had to wait. Depending your installation, you can or cannot follow the progress of the down load.
