Is it bad!?!... I think its bad

[krs09]

So im still working on getting the D in good order. Right now im getting ready to put in a new water pump and in the mean time im replacing all the heater hoses and cleaning out my radiator. While working I take look at the roof in the rear and it does look like my T panel is a little bent, so I take off the black cover piece and this is what is find!!..

I remember a link to a site that had a step by step on how to fix this problem. Any one know it ??.. Is it even fixable or is it too far gone? I guess if or when I fix that it should help my door alignment issue..

How quickly do your doors open? Quite quickly I would guess.

Check the How To section for a thread on Roof Tie Down or Bolt Down.

Very common. Your roof plate bond has broken loose. You need to get it screwed back down.

It's an easy fix fairly cheap. A drill, bits, sealer, nuts, and bolts are all you need. Plus a stern stomach to drill holes through the top of your Delorean.

Thank god.. Do i have to take the torsion bars out??

[Kenny_Z]

Nope, just don't hit them. If you drill off to the side like I did you won't even be close. Just watch for wires and put something in the car to catch the debris unless you want to be vacuuming it out of everything for awhile. If you don't get one of the kits available get a normal bolt, not a carriage bolt like I bought. It was a pain in the ass to tighten down.

That's a fairly common problem and Is very fixable. It's also very common for the black plastic piece to heat warp. I replaced mine with the DMCEU stainless one. I've been thinking about experimenting on my old plastic one with some heat massaging too see if I could savage it. I can't really hurt it any more than it already is.

I guess they do pop open pretty quickly. I feel like I cant let then go until they fully opened (scared it will bang against the roof) Maybe im just a little puss. Why do you guess?? I cant find that link.. I suck at finding stuff on this site though.

Just need the proper (common) tools, and a friend.

What exactly are the common told for this? Anyone have a link?

Thanks
