A New Roof Cover

Our 1990 Nissan Figaro has spent a short time in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. It came in for our team of technicians to fit a new hood.

Classic car technician Brian started by undoing the roof and folding it back before removing the rear window inner trim. He then undid the headliner at the back of the car and removed the rear window panel. The front weather seal also had to be removed before the rear edge of the roof was undone too.

Brian removed the rear edge panel in order to repair the rust which was then painted black by Monty. Brain repaired the broken side wires and riveted them back on before glueing the front and rear edges. He went on to remove the cover from the rear window panel and found rust that needed to be repaired. There were a few areas of rust that had to be repaired during the work being completed.

New material was glued to the rear window frame and a hole was cut out for the window. The inner window surround was repaired before the frame was put back in.

As you can see from the photos below, once the repairs were complete and the new roof cover was fitted, our 1990 Nissan Figaro looks great and is ready to go back to its owner.
