Tilt and slide

[General Lee]

Hey,

Anybody taken there tilt and slide sunroof out i mean completley surrounding metal an all so just a hole in the roof.

Reason being i am getting a roll cage for my nova and it's for a non sunroof and i am not cutting the rollcage legs. So the car has to suffer the grinder.

I am going to replace the hole with some sort of seal and polycarbonate.

Just asking if anybody on here has attempted this or not?

Cheers

You would be better getting a non sunroof roof skin.

Its alot better to this, rather than put a sealed in piece of perspex:thumb:

Yup took mine out, damn heavy too.

If you are taking it out I've put a guide in articles of how to remove the headlining, it doesn't cover taking the sunroof out but it's a simple job, unplug the 4 drain pipes ( 1 at each corner ) then undo all the small bolts around the edge of the cassette, I done it on my own but it would be far easier if someone gives you a hand.

If you do remove it can I have the small White plastic clip on it please that holds the headlining support bar?

Way too much work to change the roof skin IMO. And can be a tricky job. A panel riveted and sealed will do. Do it right and neatly, will look fine. Or maybe a sheet of CF for ultimate cool points lol
