Sorry I was in a rush and couldn't explain at the time. Took off inside mouldings around alpine windows (two clip things and unbolting the rear seatbelts) reached under the headliner with a socket wrench and unbolted the single nut. Went to the front of the truck and took off the plastic moulding the surrounds the sunroof controls. This part wasn't as easy, the farthest screw holes were close but not close enough to line up with the roof rack bolts so I took a blade and made a 2 inch cut in the headliner (don't worry both the headliner is thick enough to not be affected by the cut and as you'll see the moulding more than covers the area), fit the socket up there and in a few seconds had the rack off and ready for repair (or what have you) Good luck | ||

i pulled my roof bars... cause my disco wont fit in the garage.... i ended up dismanteling just about every piece of moulding in the upper half of my rig, so i didnt have to cut anything... tedious F'ing job... putting the moulding back around the alpine windows was a PAIN in the butt. the actual rack removal was easy... but to get to the bolts... aiya.... anyone looking for a set of roof bars that are in good shape? | ||

YES! What will you take for the roof bars? | ||

I've got a set of stock roof rails & crossbars, too, if anyone's interested. In the interest of fairness, Ken should have first dibs on any sales originating from this thread. I have a half-finished tech article with pics about the roof rail removal. Maybe I'll finish it up today and send it to Ho. | ||

I may be in the market if I can't get mine straightened out and looking good. Prices anyone? | ||

I'm looking from roof rails as well! And a front bumpber, rear step, left lamp guard, etc. Prices? Bribes? Sexual favors? m | ||

Sexual favors! Hmmmm I wonder if my wife would miss her bumper  | ||

Molly, I have 3 roof rails (factory crossbars) from a 96 D1. Email me off-list and we'll discuss. | ||
| Molly C (Britishcarfool) New Member Username: Britishcarfool Post Number: 5 Registered: 04-2003 |
I swear I CAN spell! It was all the excitement from the possibility of new rails that caused me to repeatedly mispell. Really. Ken - Yes, she will notice, and yes, she will hurt you. Andrew - I have the cross bars, I'm looking for the main rails. Anyone? | ||

Molly, I have the actual roof bars from a DII if you need them. Just have to pay shipping from NC. | ||
| Jeremy D. (Cliffordthedog) New Member Username: Cliffordthedog Post Number: 20 Registered: 07-2003 |
OK...what happened here? I would REALLY like to get the original roof rails like I first posted (NOT the cross bars although a set would be great) from a Disco I or II. Bueller? Buellor? ;0) | ||
| Blue (Blue) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Blue Post Number: 422 Registered: 04-2003 |
I have a set of the main roof rails and crossbars available from a D1. Just drop me an email and make me an offer. [email protected] P.S. Jeremy, good luck outbidding Molly | ||
| Jeremy D. (Cliffordthedog) New Member Username: Cliffordthedog Post Number: 22 Registered: 07-2003 |
No Sexual Favors here! My wife, and 14 day old daughter would be a bit upset ;0) I'll email you tonight, Blue. | ||
| Molly C (Britishcarfool) New Member Username: Britishcarfool Post Number: 6 Registered: 04-2003 |
Greg - I have a D1, are the rails the same for both series? Sorry, I'm new at this DIY Rover stuff. And Jeremy, I may not know much about Rover repairs, but I do know how to move to the front of the line. m | ||

Keep getting those knees dirty, Molly. We know what you mean when you say getting "a head"... | ||
| Blue (Blue) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Blue Post Number: 435 Registered: 04-2003 |
LOL, Molly's probably a guy...this is the internet afterall. | ||
| Blue (Blue) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Blue Post Number: 436 Registered: 04-2003 |
Sold to the big red dog. Damn, I should have listed these things on ebay to make more $$$ and avoid giving dweb their 5%. What was I thinking? P.S. Molly, sorry you missed the rail purchase, but maybe we can still work something out | ||
| Andrew Maier (Newman) Member Username: Newman Post Number: 163 Registered: 04-2003 |
Blue, Why is Cliffordthedog emailing me saying he's gonna buy my crossbars? Is he trying to play us against each other, or is he only buying your rails and not your crossbars? | ||
| Molly C (Britishcarfool) New Member Username: Britishcarfool Post Number: 7 Registered: 04-2003 |
Oh hell, that's what I get for going out for the evening! Clifford, such language from a kids' cartoon character! And yes Blueboy, I am all girl. Maybe next time. m | ||
| Jeremy D. (Cliffordthedog) New Member Username: Cliffordthedog Post Number: 24 Registered: 07-2003 |
Andrew, I am still buying your cross rails. No playing here. Just send me the total when you get it. J | ||
| Andrew Maier (Newman) Member Username: Newman Post Number: 166 Registered: 04-2003 |
