i shoul dimagine you can, didnt look into it after body shop told me it can be a real mare to do


as such a large area being welded would be a mare not to distort


unless you have the right gear

Theres a thread around somewhere, which showed someone welding in a second hand roof!

Looked spot on when done!

Bare in mind though the roof lining is different for a non sunroof car, as its deeper and obviously doesn't have the hole lol

My friend has had no luck in finding one for his ,so we got hold of a non sunroof car instead ,worked out cheaper aswell.


Just got to unpick the skin and swop them over.
