Replacing trim

So... I decided it would be a good idea to replace the moulding beside the windscreen, roof and targa tops. All went pretty well, but man there were some rusty screws holding the targas together (I had to take them apart to refit that bit - as someone already posted, this top guide explains how: replacing mouldings ).

One @rsey little one had rusted so bad I took the top clean off trying various methods of unscrewing it and have now resorted to drilling the s0d out. But, like the Murpheys, I'm not bitter. I am however only with one half of the roof on the car right now due to having only completed one side.

Moral of the story: If you are going to attempt to take something apart, make sure you don't do it on a Sunday afternoon, when every shop that might sell things to help you put it back together is shut.

I have now used zinc coated screws (purchased this lunchtime) and judicious amounts of silicon sealant (also purchased this lunctime) to make sure the offending points will never cause me (or anyone else) such grief again.

Here endeth the lesson.
