As said above, it's the end I'm afraid. I had ONE rust bubble and look what the inside of my roof-skin looked like (in the link above).

A Carbon roof isnt really the answer for an Escort either. How would you do it? Carbon over the existing steel roof? Or cut the roof out altogether? Then where do you join it?

There is no easy answer, thats a fact. Mine will stay with its shitty steel plate over it for now. The roof is knackered, removing the sunroof catridge left the roof in a poor state too.

My RST is in VERY good structural condition apart from this, which is why its worth saving, but many have found their way into the scrap yard for this, even though I realise it looks minor.
