Classic car technician Brian has been working on the sunroof of our 1987 BMW 635 CSI. He removed the frame from the roof of the car and cleaned the old glue and material from the sunroof frame. The rubber padding was also removed from the frame before Brian painted it.

While the new paint on the sunroof frame was drying, Brian removed the door carpets ready to make new ones.

Patterns for new kick carpets were made. To fit the new kick panel carpets, Brian had to remove one of the speakers from the car. Once it had been removed, he trial-fitted the carpet and cut out the hole for the speaker to fit into.

Brian was happy with the trial fit so he fitted the kick carpet into the car and reinstalled the speaker too. Brian repeated the process on the passenger side of the vehicle. A hole in the original carpet was also covered as well as new carpet being glued onto the door panels.

Headliner board was put in the car with Brian glueing around the sunroof opening. The cover of the sunroof frame was glued onto the frame and it will soon be back in the car.
