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.

Looks great man! What did you use to cut it? and also, what glue did you use? It's so good to see someone with the balls to do it, and actually get it done right lol

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

It's cute because what re-inforcement will there be? Will it be engineered? Will it be a death trap?
