Sun roof delete
Has anyone done sun roof delete? I saw 2 on renns, but they are vague.
Should I buy post 90 roof, buy used? Do I need the inner under? Frame metal?

Several have done it, I've looked at it a lot and still have it in my plans, but it adds a lot of body shop labor to an essential respray as part of the job. I think Rob Edwards bought the last factory replacement roof with no sunroof, even in Germany, so you are forced to take the roof off usually an older model. All the roofs are the same in terms of fit, so model year doesn't matter.
The roof is held on with a series of spot welds and either adhesive or lead to seal. Starting with the donor roof use a special drill with a cutter that cuts a hole just outside the welded spot. *** stuff I don't remember goes here *** The replacement roof spot weld holes should line up with the spot weld bumps on the target car, reweld conventionally to reattach, more stuff I don't remember. Paint, enjoy. Yes you will need the inner liner from a non sunroof car as well as the roof. |
