Sunroof of Doom
I have this p.o.s. sunroof someone ghetto rigged on my s13 when I bought it. Its got like silicon all around it to keep it from leaking and whistling but doesnt work. I want to get rid of it. Its going to be painted soon so how would I go about filling that big hole in the roof after I take it out?

here's a good idea on how to fill a sunroof. this particular application is for a mini cooper, but some of the ideas will translate over. it's not cheap, but the guys at SCC never seem to be budget conscience. read through it and see what pieces of the process you want to keep, and which ones you want to change

definately not worth the it considering the cost. Your best bet would be to unclog the drain hoses and adjust the sunroof so it doesn't whistle. If you really want to, then make your 240 a T tops!

i agree that it would be hard/impossible to do. you could in theory cut the A, B, and C pillars at the bottom from both cars and then weld the new one to the frame, but it wouldn't look pretty, nor do I think it would be as rigid as you would want.

what about just filling it with a metal plate, like shving a door handle, if it was welded right it would hold up, thats what i thought of doing, cuz i want to phantom top my fastback and i think it would look funny with glass in the middle

the sun roof on my hatchback used to be a pain in the neck. it always go down when i run into a rough road so i went to a nissan dealer and ordered a new lock for my sunroof and have it fixed. now my sunroof is like brand new again because it doesn't fall anymore when i run into some rough roads and it doesn't wissle when i'm driving fast in the express way

Mine whistler loud as hell when i'm on the freeway as of late, any faster than 70 and it's annoying so I have to turn the music up. I've tried re-adjusting it, no to avail, i'll probably need a new seal put on her.
