This a pic taken of the pop top alloy roof sheet after taking of
around 10 layers of sticky black under seal.
I drilled out all of the old rivits and took of the brace bars
underneath then put them back on with a good line of silicon and new rivits with a small blob of silicon before the rivits went in.
Just a few more hours sanding before its ready to be resprayed.
