Just how do you take out the roof lining on a Murena, i can see i'd need to remove the screws at the rear, remove interior light and sun visors then at the front theres are four things holding it, after removing the top cap there is metal clips holding it. What do i do with these? Thought i'd ask first.. Ive got a rattle above my head and its bothering me....

This sounds like the bumping of a cable.. im guessing but im thinking its the lead for the aerial. Exactly how if the clips at the front removed?

There were no screws in the front, after popping the cover caps off and pulling on one it seems like the roof front was held in place by 4 metal clips, clips that I’ve knackered by removing them! Shit... Anyone know if these are obtainable? In removing the roof lining I’ve found the flapping aerial cable and taped it to the roof. I’ve also tightened the aerial too as that was pretty loose. So I just may have killed another noise in the car, but maybe the hassle of getting rid of it may teach me to live with some of the others for a little while longer.

Ok I’ve spent a while looking at the roof (So far its all been done at night, not the best time to work on your car) and although I found the cable for the interior light and radio aerial to be loose it wasn’t the major cause of my vibrations! It’s the roof! To be more precise its the rear part of the roof and it seems to be vibrating on the chassis (above the rear window) and causing the noises. Exactly how are these two panels normally attached? It feels like the roof panel sits on a thin section of metal chassis. Maybe I could fit something rubber between and stop it rattling. Theres no way I’m thinking of playing with the roof panel…… No….

It looks like we have a club within a club here! Welcome to my club... I'll assign membership numbers later.
Im really not sure how this can be solved by gluing as theres so much flex in the roof and theres really not much contact area, i think i'll try to pad it. Plus i really dont want my paintwork made worse than it is. I'd like to see a picture of a Murena without roof if anyone has one..

Interesting -- maybe there are differences in the production years also - '83 is mine. And there are 4 screws under the clothing :-( Im really not sure how this can be solved by gluing as theres so much flex in the roof and theres really not much contact area, i think i'll try to pad it. Plus i really dont want my paintwork made worse than it is. I'd like to see a picture of a Murena without roof if anyone has one.. The roof is fixed with both glue and 'Nitter' (Whats the english word for this ??) It can only be removed when the front window is removed ! The only way I can see to fix (without removing) is to squise the new glue in between the roof and the chachis frame. My roof does the same - the glue is 'out' and a few of the 'nitter' is also very loose. But since I have to have a new windshield anyway before repainting, I will take the roof completly off.

Well mine doesnt look like it was Riveted at the back? So far I’ve inserted a 1 metre long strip piece of rubber between the panel and the chassis and took it for a sort test ride, no banging so far. I'd love to stick the panel but i think it'll be too hard to get so I’m gonna leave it now and replace the roof lining and hope the rubber stays in place. Oh and I think that Will @ Matra Magic has the proper fixings for the roof linings
