I have striped loads today getting ready for the paint shop. strip of door cards droped roof linning at rear, craked the talgate nuts, and striped the tailgate and pulled wire through, and striped targas down and the doors of all trim and rubber then got stuck. were on earth do you get the tool from to take out the center roof bar,its being painted in there and colour change so needs to be removed. im looking at a torque driver on a very short bend of 45% in less than 1/2 a centermeter.im going to a dealership tomorow to pick up some trim parts and conecters to put stuff back tight when paint done but i bet theres no such tool you can buy from them. any ideas.please.

Have you got a picture of the problem bolt??

The centre roof bar comes off from the inside. Take the headlining down & you'll see about 6 bolts holding it in place

Here is how I did mine on my old black zed

Been ages since I did one but I think the overhead lights need to come out first???

You don't need to drop the whole lining off. When you take off the rear trim around the tailgate aperture (the metal one), it partially drops down. Unscrew the interior light and allow it to hang down further, the flex in the cable and the light itself prevent it from dropping too low. You'll then be able to get access to all the nuts holding the central roof trim on.

Exactly, also IIRC I used a sealant on mine as well when refitting.
