Former Top Gear and now C5 slimeball Wilson has posted some trying-to-be-funny comments about the Sportrak on the 4Car website (see link.) Coming from a bloke who was once convicted of spinning back the speedos on cars he was trying to flog, You neednt worry too much of what his opinion is.

According to the workshop manual, the jacking and stand support points on the FT are shown in section GI (General Infomation). I have read this section inside out, upside down and back to front but can't find the info. Any ideas folks.

Hi,

I fit the sunroof behind the rear seats, as you say, but in from of the roll bar. It can rattle around tho, so its best if u can throw a blanket over it or tie it in place somehow, but it fits in dead easy.

Or, if your not using the rear seats then the easiest way is to fold them (or just fold the backrests down) and place the sun roof the 'right way' up, sitting each side on the wheel arches. I find that the best fit, but you obviously loose the back seats.

The problem i have, is where can you store the rear window glass?!!

Regards,
Nat
