D3 short roof rails - parts |
|
hi I bought some second hand short rails for my D3 and have found fitting instructions here (thanks @Narpy) -
https://media.disco3.co.uk/ownerinfo/CAB50...0Rails.pdf
Is anyone able to direct me to a source of the minor parts?
I'm missing what appear to be short cylindrical spacers (6 No.?) and the rubbers below the removable end pieces.
Many thanks
Pete

Delighted to be of help
Made a bit of progress.
Removing the trim is easy.
Used a plastic bicycle tyre lever under the trim at the top of the windscreen.
Unwound one of the 3 (each side for short rails) M10 bolts in the channel only to discover they are 'hollow' with an internal thread from the top to take the rail fixing bolt.
Just needed to remove the plastic insert and leave the M10 bolt in place.
Used a Stanly knife vertically, rotating the blade until the plastic insert plug broke free of the paint.
Fitting kit now on order - VUB502870 - £9.
