Devon roof woe
The roof on my Devon is rotten around the hinges, and the two rear have popped off. Does anyone know where i can take it in the West Mids for sorting?? Can i move the hinges along to a solid part of the roof and reattach? sorry, i'm a noob!

right
i was told that to weld the roof, the interior had to come out along the roofline, as it may catch fire! Do you know of anywhere i could go to that would sort that out for me? i really need to get camping soon.
