Hi Everyone
Brand new member, just joined.
I currently have a 2000 Berlingo 1.8 petrol with the FULL LENGTH FABRIC ROOF which is fully working.
It has been fantastic particularly driving to Spain through France. I have just bought a 2007 model 1.6 petrol with the glass panelled roof.
Okay boring bit here but follow my logic.......
Citroen obviously spent time and money tooling up to make a solid metal roof panel AND another setup for the roof with an aperture to take the full length roof - then after about 4 years they discontinue the roof.
BUT they then come up with the glass panelled roof instead. Having put BOTH Berlingo's side by side and taken a few rough measurements I would hazzard a guess that the NEWER roof panel was constructed to fit the SAME aperture - therefore not having to re-tool.
However taking out BOTH roofs and swapping them over is not a small job and so before destroying two roofs does anyone know if I am right?
Effectively will the NEWER panelled roof fit the same aperture as the old Fabric roof and vice-a-versa.
Thank you for taking time to read this and ANY info on how to de-constuct the fabric roof would be very useful
