Need Roof Box

[Jupiterbandit]

I've looked all over. Does anyone sell the roof box? I see there is a stainless one in the UK but it's not listed as for sale.

[Delorean Industries]

We make to order in house as one size doesn't fit all. Over the counter sales are difficult on this one.

[Jupiterbandit]

So how do i go about it and what would the cost be?

Thank you

Custom fitted box section is 950.00. We make to order off your car. This involves roming the part for car dimensions etc. installation and fitment of doors ranges from 45-60 hours depending on severity. If you already have door fitment issues it will be on the higher end estimate wise. Current waiting list for our updated box install puts us in September before we can start another one. We are the only company to make custom three pieces box sections fit to the car. Other option is Grady in Long Island who uses U.K. Box style. Not sure what his wait is currently.

Actually just saw your location. You are close to rob. He can replace it for you.

[Jupiterbandit]

Thanks, I didn't even know about him. He had to be on Long Island, lol. Takes a boat ride for me to get there.

Rob had several old roof boxes in usable condition. Not sure if he has any currently or if he is using new ones. Big job. If yours is not rusted out just clean it up best you can and slather it with POR-15.

Since no one has asked... How are you sure you need a roof box? Most every car has rusting on or in the roof box, it has to be pretty severe to consider replacement.

+1 on that. If the roof box is separating from the tub, that can be repaired on the car without replacing the box itself

The tab that run along the edge under the torsion bar is chunk. big chunks of rust. I haven't pulled the stainless cover off to look inside the inspection plate yet.

By the way, Anyone have instructions on how to remove the stainless steel cover?

[David T]

If you mean the Tee panel, you remove the rear plastic valence and there are a bunch of small screws under the door weatherstripping. Be careful of all of the sharp edges. Be really gentle with that plastic valence. You remove the 3 screws and kind of roll it to get it out. Sometimes you have to bend the tabs (there are 4 of them) of the Tee panel a little to get it loose.

Thanks. I hope to check it out tomorrow

I called PJ Grady in NY. Left him a few messages. It doesn't say anything about Delorean on his message, sounds like a home message machine. Either I have the wrong number or he's no longer servicing Delorean.
