Sorry it's been a while. Cabby been laid up for a number of years with a rotten/ripped hood so decided to replace. Eventually found a great condition 2000 hood off eBay and been trying to fit this weekend. All I would say is refitting is a tricky and time consuming job with two people required to manoeuvre frame into place. Has anyone had experience of doing this? I will go into more detail about the alignment problem with some pictures if someone out there thinks they can help?

I did the swap with my mate just a month or so ago, certainly a fun job when I am 5 foot six and hes 6 foot 5, was a bit tricky but not that bad.
What help can I offer you ma'friend

No problem pal, just in case you have seen my b6 cab in my avatar, the swap we did was a b4, putting a nice condition full roof from a 2000 w plate onto a 94 L plate, both electric roof models
