Hi,have just bought a Morris Traveller [1969] needing a bit of work,I need to replace the upper cant rail on the lh side .
I have removed the sliding windows,channels,headlining,roof gutter and inner wood cappings but cannot see how to remove the aforementioned rail.
Is it glued or nailed to the inner rail ?
Any help gratefully recieved
P.S. The Morris Minor Restoration manual is no help and the Haynes Manual is next to useless on this matter. :

Welcome to the forum! Indeed Haynes is useless. I assume you mean item 33 - in which case it is one piece - not attached to an 'inner rail' and will have to be detached from the two ends to remove it.
