As there is no guide section for the barchetta I will have to put this here.
PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS THREAD AS IT IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
OK first things first this thread is for the roof I replaced from e-bay and is not an original Fiat item so may be different so take this into consideration when doing the job yourself.
As before I take no responsibility for you messing up your roof due to following my advice BUT I hope it will help anyone undertaking this task. Be prepared as this will take a while and you will need lots of patience.
I was advised to do this job in hot weather so it was already streched as it may need adjusted in warm weather if it's cold when fitting.
The first thing to do is remove the screws holding the window seals in place there are three seals on each side but the middle one remains attached to the frame the other two seals have one screw in each. The seal nearest the windscreen has a screw facing the interior of the car and is on the outer surface(pic1), the seal nearest the boot has a screw facing the exterior and is on the inner surface (pic2) To remove the seals they slide out of the frame the one closest to the windscreen slides forward the one nearest the boot slides downwards (see pic3) it is adviseable to lower the roof 2/3rds of the way on the lower seal for clearance of the rear wing panel.
