roof rust nightmare
few weeks ago after getting the car power washed two scabs on the roof blew through about size of 5 pence
just covered them with duct tape for now
about a inch behind the sunroof
yesterday having a look at the damage seems 4 more scabs are coming through
ive heard this rust is normally shell terminal death no way to fix it
cars due for a mot in 1 week ...
its 16 years old g reg saph and dont really want to lose it
no other rust on the shell and only failed last years mot on a corroded brake pipe
can the rust be cut out any ideas ???

Cut the roof off and fit one without a sunroof! More trouble than they are worth those sunroofs especialy when you can't use it as you get a sun burnt head

Don't go desperate. Everything is fixable. Although it may be costly or hard to do.
I don' tknow that much about rust but new roof panel if avaliable doesn't seem unsensible.

badcompany call good bodyshop in your area, they will advice you surely. Roof is important for body rigidity so it can't be repaired in some amateur way.
