Renovo roof problems

Post by Grose » Fri May 25, 2018 9:54 pm

Bit of a strange one. Used renovo on roof last weekend and since then the roof lining catches on the lock when i close it. Almost seems like the lining has sagged but cant believe renovo caused this.
It has worked without fault before the application.
Anyone experienced sonething similar?
Is there somewhere i should be starting to try and find a fix?
Thanks

Remove the lock :thumbsup:

I'm removing mine this weekend. If it's good enough for facelift models to not need it, then it can't be that important.

Some early facelifts still have it. I removed mine from the ///M though after noticing it was rubbing on the roof lining.

Thanks! Sounds like an easy fix. On closee inspection it seems to be catching just above the rear window not the headlining.
I may be removing mine this weekend as well.....
