I have the common problem of sagging headlining, Unfortunately all but two of the bolts holding the hardtop front catches are spinning instead of undoing. I assume there are "captive" bolts behind which are not being held. Before I get carried away with the drill has anyone got any easier options or ideas please.


When I looked up "Ninjas" in Thesaurus.com, it said "Ninja's can't be found" Well played Ninjas, well played.

You could try getting a screwdriver between the catch and the liner and applying some pressure - if you're lucky the captive will bite.... if not then its a drill off the bolt heads and hope you can get the bolts out and somehow secure the captive nuts!
