Do you mean if you want to fit the headling back in

My RWD mk4 escort is a track/drift toy and so the heavy ass sunroof and metalwork had to go! We (my dad and I) gota spares xr3i, cut the rear of the roof out so the shape is the same, trimmed the spare roof panel 15mm bigger than the sunroof hole all the way round and bonded it in place with panel bond. Then sprayed the car and chequed the roof to help disguise it.
Inside the car the roof is sprayed matt black and is pretty well disguised.

Hi mate sorry to hear about this as your car looks well nice now its been painted I'm tryin to find a solution to this as my sunoof tray is fubard and I need to sort something. I'm considering a new sunroof like the webasto ones as there meant to be a piece of piss to fit maybe a possibility for you? All the best either way hope u sort it.

Yeh it's really annoyed me that the roofs gone shit. Just looked at the webasto sunroofs, dunno if that will fit eitha. I really don't know what to do as I've just payed a lot of money to put a new headlining in and don't really what to have to take out alley new glass/interior ect

The ones I looked at were only slightly bigger. How has it sunk have you put a new sunroof cassette in it and warped it just curious as I'm thinkin of putting a new 1 on mine if I can find 1.

Had holes in the roof due to rust. Had them cut out and new metal put in. I think it's shrunk due to the heat from welding. Now the sunroof doesn't fit.

I've seen the pictures of the sunroof glass u posted on another thread and thought it looked abit odd. I'm guna put a new tray in mine I think as the actual roof is ok thankfully hope u get it sorted bud I'd be looking at an aftermarket sunroof tho if I were you.

Just out of curiosity how much does the normal roof weigh in comparison to a carbon roof. Am considering getting a carbon roof for my new track toy!

its strange how the sunroof has dropped at the front and high at the back. is there anyway the sunroof is fitted wrong as opposed to the roof sinking in different places. you would think if the roof moved that much it would crack the paint or repair?

Get the sunroof aligned nicely at the front (high end) and then take the glass panel out and bend it to match the back (lower end) of the roof, i know, i know glass doesn't bend but i've had to do this on a few mk4s using mk6 escort sunroofs (they fit and are rot free) they are slightly a diff shape so we gently bend em until they fit... It works, bend the frame and it flexes the glass into place. Give it a go, gently!

the low parts in the pic are the corners of the rear of the glass. the front of the glass (windscreen end) is fine. should i get a mk6 sunroof then and bend that to fit?

You sure that isn't a mk5/6 sunroof that you've bought being told it's mk4 and it has the curve in it like Rogeboy sais?
