Default s2 sunroof!

ok as far as i can see my sunroof is rusting and isnt opening due to sticking to the inner sking it does open but after a while sticks again!

so my questions are can i get a replacement sunroof? preferably new or am i better repairing it if it isnt too bad?

and how do i get in about clearing the rust off the roof before it causes me hassle as looks to me like my roof is in pretty good nick!

ill add pics at weekend if i can manage!

You can fit a mk6 escort one with a bit of modding

What cut the whole roof off? Leave 30mm all round to bond the carbon to maybe?

How much and what is involved?
