statesman home sunroof install

thanks everyone very happy with it wasnt difficult at all with this type of sunroof as long as the hole is cut right i really cannot see how you could go wrong unless your a complete **** and somehow manage to mess up some other way

it passed the leak test!! had the hose blasting it for a soliad 10min, not a ml of water go through couldnt be happyer
will try and get a bit more done on the roof liner tomorrow

ill chuck a few more pics up later on tonight.

 

used a grinder with a splicing disc on it only about 1-2mm thick, had the jigsaw ready for the cured coners but my uncle was able to do them with the grinder to. roof didnt even get very warm while cutting disc went through it like butter.
used the black silaflex for the glue/sealer forgot what number silaflex we used but it was the good stuff
it was actually easyer then i thought, really dont see where people are going wrong, deffently not a few thousand dollar job like all the shops charge.

more pics like i said guys, not the best and cars very dirty, getting resprayed black very soon to, ive also converted it to manual and rebuild the engine cam heads ect all done goes allright for a 6
shes also got cream leather wh stato electric seats 20" rims just making a ice cruiser might go ls1 conversion once off P's

trying to get my roof liner done today better pics when its all finished cheers

 

yeah i wasnt to keen on the idea of the grinder either but it worked fine and did a very good job the sawing motion of the jigsaw might have caused distortion

there isnt any glue needed to acutally hold it up there, the sunroof drops in from the top with sealer around the lip that sits on top of the roof
then there is another steel ring that goes on from inside the car and the lot is screwed together acting like a clamp holding it all in place

the center brace has to be removed theres no way around it, like you said its done from factory
it is one of the first steps in the instructon that came with my sunroof.
i also made a few other brackets that run from the sun roof steel ring the pillars ect there no really needed, it was soild as before there but i put them on for a extra support
wish i got pics before roof liner went back it.


got my roofliner pretty much finished and back in today more pics tomorrow when it done
cheers guys

 

roof lining back in and all done what a c*** of a job would have to be the hardest part but im happy enuff with it for now, may redo it later on
pics make the bit around switchs worse then it is, (sunroof switch and 3 light controls)
had to remove my interior light hense the neons but i already had them so just chucked them in
can change colour ect
let me know what u think guys
