INSTALLING FANTASIC VENT
Promptly I decide to install my FANTASTIC VENT which I imported from US. Another job I had hoped to get done elsewhere. But with time on my hands now and a coupke of weeks rest behind me, I feel a little more like I might be able to manage it. Besides I bought a nibbler to cut metal so the cut should be a piece of cake now.
The roof not flat but....
So here we go pulling off the roof panels. I was clever enough to not seal most of them thinking in advance. So thats where it has to go not much choice.
The nibbler - A great tool indeed. I paid $89 for it new. It was on sale reduced from $400. I start to cut and it stops after 1inch! What the heck! So I try in another part it works again. Mmm ..... oh yes now I know its the strip pieces Mercedes have on the ceiling. Dam now that is just typical, nothing is easy just nothing. So down from roof AGAIN. Eventually I get it removed.
Back to the Nibbler. It is so freehand that I couldn't get a straight line. The template I had was too small so I also had to make the original hole I'd made a bit bigger which didn't help. But the nibbler made much lighter work of having to do it.
I already had a 12volt wire hooked up ready. So that was easy and yep she's up and running.
The roof has a little curve so fitting the trim may be a little bit more diffecult but that is typical.
