I picked up an ITR shell for cheap so i could not pass up on the deal. I picked up a new roof panel and am in the process of putting it in... I am having some trouble seperating the peices from each other. I have drilled all the spot welds out and i still have trouble seperating them. Does anyone have any pointers or has anyone done anything like this befor?

whats wrong with replacing a roof panel?

OP, when i did mine, after i drilled out the spotwelds I had to go inide the car and gently pry all around to get teh seam sealer to pop apart.

if im reading correctly you are replacing the whole roof panel?

I went from this



to this

Some dealers installed sunroofs in ITR's as a dealer installed option.

Yup. People ruin cars all the time, its just not too often that you see a dealership doing it...

If that's ever happened I've certainly never seen it. First time for everything but...

Were there some door sill or VIN modifiers done with the work, or some exclusive ability to identify this? If there were any, then it must be rare....I certainly doubt that it is the case here. Dude's get beat on deals all the time, and this sounds like one of those times.

not that many itr's with a sunroof, but i know of atleast 5-8 confirmed itr's that have dealer installed moonroofs

easy fix with the new panel

CunninLynguist

I got pissed because i didnt fukn ask if type r's have sun roofs. I said i bought a type r shell that has one already installed that i want to remove......

Thanks for posting that crx mang , what type of sealer did you use when you replaced the panel?

mattminer

hey man, sry didnt see this come back up. Ill look again, it came from a bodyshop friend. it was a 2 part black epoxy. to clarify, after i removed the old panel, i ground down everything so it was clean, primed it all. then i ground the primer where i was going to weld, spotwelded the panel in, primed the welds. then i sealed it all around with the black epoxy and then i installed the glass and trim. it was really no big thing, ignor the haters

Did you successfully finish your roof skin conversion, Because i'd like to know what the outcome was.
I haven't gotten into it yet but I have done a full radiator support before so I have some experience in removing a panel held in by spot welds.
I'm not worried about removing the roof skin. How was sealing the new one? From your experience would you be able to give me some insight on what you wish you did better or was there no problems after etc.
thanks
