Ok so I must be missing something here....


I want to replace the glass sunroof in a 96 GSR as required by the GCR. It seems that there are two options

- replace with a panel a little larger than the existing hole
When I talked with a body shop they seemed to thing that this would cause a lot of distortion in the existing roof. They felt welding would over heat the roof and this would lead to less than desirable results. Humm... OK Then what about rivets. Yea sure but it would mean about 8 hours of labor.

- get a roof skin from a non-sunroof model and use that.
Yup! We can do that but the book says about 20 hours of labor just to replace it. This entails removing all the spot welds from the old roof. The skin from a wrecker is $300.

Am I just talking to the wrong guys? I can't believe it is going to cost $700 to $1500 without even talking about getting it repainted.

Ideas and thoughts welcome.
