I'm curious about CBA's statement about profiles of sunroof vs non sunroof cars. I'll need to research this more as I'm very skeptical.

I do know that the sunroof panel itself is not the same bubble shape as the roofline, which is why some folks say not to use it as a delete panel.

That's why I used the old Fennlane panel, as it's English rolled to the right profile. The original panel is a different profile so that it can slide into the roof.

The roof replacement is definitely the best and that Is what I chose to do on my 77 for the sunroof delete. interestingly, it was a slick top from the factory and had a bad aftermarket sunroof installed a year after it was new.

Despite some saying not to use the sunroof panel to fill the hole, I've seen quite a few conversions done this way. The car I'm working on now did it this way and the roofline is imperceivable to a real slick top. I guess the question is how much filler was used.
