So decided to have a go at the peeling fillered sunroof mod carried out by the previous owner yesterday.
It had cracked in multiple places and the water had got in to rust the plate underneath and pop the filler, got the scraper out and peeled that off until i got back to solid filler.
With all that done set about fitting the 1.5mm ally packer plate to the car, drilled and countersunked bolts with nyloc nuts. No pics of this cos I forgot!!
Onto filler and sanding. I've never so much as filled a dent before, I watched a you tube video and just got stuck in.
This took me the best part of 5 hours, in the end I decided it was as good as I could get it.
First fill
Sanded
I put another coat of filler on and sanded it back again but can't find the pics of that!!
Here in filler primer.
Picture looks better than real life, I wasn't entirely happy but after 5 hours I was aching and ready for the next bit!!
Wont be to a lot of peoples taste but I'm no sprayer so thought this would look ok, better than rattle cans anyway.
Before being cleaned
Clean
The only bit I'm not happy with is the bottom of the picture where it folds round to the screen. I couldn't get the hair dryer out as it was getting late but will do it in the morning, there are no kinks or creases in the actual roof vinyl, it's just where it's folded at the front.
Overall I'm pretty please, can still see where I fitted the ally sheet but I'm ok with that, it's a story to tell!!
