I'm a bit torn on this one. Yes it's a bodge, no question, there is a propper way to do it.

I was going to comment about the fact you wouldn't re-skin a door and leave the original skin on.. or weld sills over the original sills.

Back to the topic - maybe the FG roof could be removed after a week or 2 and the old roof would've magically repaired itself? Oh, wait, no. I'm confusing a FG roof with an Elastoplast on my finger. |

Perhaps the sunroof was a Webasto fabric sunroof, so the glassfibre roof will from a distance look like the original fabric |

Hum, I'm actually going to be fitting a CF roof over the steel roof on my clubby, regs say I have to keep the steel roof which is sadly both warped & dented. Why not cut off your roof and put a new one on? A few moments with a spot welder and jobs a good one, itll be better and lighter than bodging on a horrible carbon/fibreglass one on |

It takes a bit longer than Nic suggests, but it's no harder than a wing. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Loads of spotwelds or do you just use seam sealer? :) I'd love a new roof skin... Bloody leaking sunroof! Gives me a ice cold shower every morning

Depends on the year. My 78 shell's orginal roof was rollered. I used some sections from a later car to repair the a posts. These had spot welds about 1/4" apart on the roof skin join.
