A removable roof panel is fitted to the Libra and when removed is stored behind the seats of the car When stored the panel does not restrict the view out of the rear window. The panel is located and fixed by four aluminium knobs. When secured from the inside the panel is not removable from the outside and hence offers complete security. Drain channels are provided from the roof panel aperture and these in turn are also used to drain the roof when the panel is in place to prevent water running off the roof and into the car when the doors are open.

Assembly

Mark the centre of the circular indents on the roof of the main tub. Pilot with a small drill and drill out two 10mm. The roof panel should now fit in through these holes and is secured by the four aluminium roof panel mounting T0660.
