I sent them a picture of the roof and they did a visual confirmation. Today I asked for dimensions again. They could not open the package because it was sealed.

I was able to find a sunroof company in England that is  selling the vinyl exterior. But unbelievably they will not give me the dimensions of the material for me to confirm it will fit. Just unbelievable.

George, I read TMF+ as TMF plus ( like in addition to )  being a member. Thanks for the clarification.

Jim below is from the wanted page, sign up for TMF+ and you're allowed to post wanted and for sale. On the bar below the the logo look for "Subscriptions" to sign up. I'm pretty sure I use Paypal every year to pay, at current exchange it's about $6.50.

Wanted

Wanted Rules

Who Can Use This Section?

1. Anyone may view this section and reply to wanted item threads.
2. If you have 150 posts or more, or you are a TMF+ member you will also be allowed to post new topics for wanted items.

Wanted Rules

1. The sale of V5's, log books or VIN numbers is illegal and forbidden. So don't ask for them.*
2. Non-mini items are NOT permitted.

3. Weapons/firearms are strictly prohibited.
4. You shouldn't need to be reminded that SPAM is not accepted anywhere on this board, this area included.

Breaking any of the above rules on more than one occasion will result in you being banned from this section, permanently.

*Breaking this rule will result in an immediate and permanent ban from this section.

Safe Trading

Here are a few brief pointers to help everyone avoid getting burnt when using the Wanted area:

1. Treat all deals like they WILL go bad.
2. Use PayPal, do NOT send payments as a gift.
3. If possible, perform transactions in person at a show.
4. Once an item has been paid for, post up in the thread that you have paid.
5. Always be sure you know what you're getting, ask for pictures, ask questions, don't be afraid to nag.

George, you link does not open. The wanted rules page only says that you need 150 posts. 
I'm finding TMF confusing. Signing up does not make you a member. You have to pay to become a member?

It's simple, become a TMF+ member for 5 GBP and you can post in wanted or for sale without the 150 post count. The bonus is you get discounts from a few of the UK suppliers.

I am looking for a fabric vinyl folding sunroof as used on the British Open model. Need outer vinyl, but will take complete unit if need be. Would like NOS but will consider one in very good condition. Not shrunk in the middle. contact via email [email protected]. Thank you. Jim

If you can post that, I would be grateful. Thanks Jim
Ugh, I can't post either. While I have been a member for quite a while the threshold for posting there is *really* high. Need 150 posts which I do not have. Sorry
