Re: 1937 Rover 12 Sports Saloon Sliding Sunroof Removal

The photos help a lot, much appreciated. The fixing holes on my car are on the front edge and on the sides. So I can see the benefit of having a rubber seal on the front edge but am surprised if a) it would fit on the sides and b) whether it would be more of a hinderance than a help. I think I'll lo...

Re: 1937 Rover 12 Sports Saloon Sliding Sunroof Removal

With the sunroof open and viewed from the top I can see a series of fixing holes around the perimeter, so am I missing a seal or something?

Re: 1937 Rover 12 Sports Saloon Sliding Sunroof Removal

Many thanks SHyslop for the pictures and the text. I am currently trying a repair to the very slight tear in the corner on the leading edge of the fixed roof section using a leather sealant/filler, which I am hopefull will do the job. But ideally I would like to glue the underside of the overlap (if...

1937 Rover 12 Sports Saloon Sliding Sunroof Removal

The vinyl on one of the front corners of my fixed sunroof section (left-hand side of exterior picture) has come away on the underside, so I need to remove the sliding sunroof to stick it back under. I have the workshop manual explaining the process, but having never done it before I wanted to check ...

Wanted - Pair of Luvax CMPR Shock Absorbers

Hi

The shock absorbers on my 1937 Rover 12 Sports Saloon need some attention.

Does anybody happen to have a pair of Luvax CMPR 4 bolt bodies that I could have reconditiined to replace my existing units?

Re: 1935 ROVER 14 SPORTS SALOON SHOCKS

Thanks SHyslop. At present I am looking at options for rebuilding my existing Luvax shock absorbers, but was interested to know what was involved in fitting telescopic units on the front.

Re: 1935 ROVER 14 SPORTS SALOON SHOCKS

I have spent years and hundreds of dollars (Australian) getting Luvax shock absorbers reconditioned. I am convinced that they are a waste of effort. The front shocks can be replaced fairly easily by telescopics. Pity to spoil the authenticity of the car but it is a safety issue and the car can shak...

1937 Rover 12 - Wiper Arms

The wiper arms on my 1937 Rover 12 when parked currently point towards the nearside (passenger side), i.e. both in the same direction. In fitting new wiper arms I tried to remedy this so that they park, as I believe they should, i.e. both pointing away from the centre of the car......but to no avail...
