C70 roof broken :(
Hey!
Just wondering if anyone has had the ropes snap that pull the headlining back on a c70 mk2? Mine seems to have snapped or detatched and now the rear quarter headlining doesnt return to correct position when closing roof. Been quoted £360 to fix😥 Cheers Phill |

Do you mean the the kind of long triangular part right by what would be the rear window pillar?

I bought mine about a year ago and the previous owner showed me that he had replaced a cable with a length of strong elastic just tied in place. It's not a long piece but it's right behind the very narrow pointy bit( hope that's not too technical!) that is behind the rear headrest. He showed me it with the roof in the half way 'service' position and it holds that very end piece in position and stops it flapping out. Not sure if this is the same problem as yours but it's seemed to do the trick. Hope I've made some sense in describing it!

Haha i will have to put it in service position and take a look i guess.. maybe its a common problem. £360 seems a lot though!

If you can open the roof then stop it halfway closed you might be able to see where the cable is meant to run by checking the opposite side?

Interesting that now these cares are 10+ years old we're finally beginning to see more roof problems. Compared to the misery that VW EOS owners put up with from day one that's a good showing!
I had to perform a similar fix on a Mk1 C70 with a bungee cord to stop the roof chafing. Worked remarkably well - you can buy lengths of bungee cord for not much money and cut to size.

I think I need to wait for a dry day and part open the roof.. maybe its just come detached at a couple of points. If not it will be a trip to caymen autos for them to fix it.
