  • New roof panel

    The paint on my roof is bubblin badly and since the roof is only glued on how hard could it be the replace yourself? Anyone ever do this? What would the roof panel cost?

    I'm not sure if anyone has done it before, i wouldn't think it would be too terrible, but why not go for a t-top conversion while you have the roof off?

    what year? i heard there was a recall on a few years for that..

        She's a 2000, and the dealer will not cover it. Even tho there is a bulletin about it. The reason I don't do the T-Top conversion is that it is even bubbling across the rear portion from sail panel to sail panel.

          I would probably see if you can find one at a junkyard and see how hard it is to take off..that way if you mess it up, it doesn't matter :naughty:

          It's the actual roof right, not the paint?

            Well, you see.
            The glue that is used to hold the roof on "out-gasses" threw the composite roof and lifts the paint.

                after i did my t tops i got matching paint from autozone and it look perfect. but then again the only part you paint will get covered by the t tops. getting the roof off in one piece will be kinda hard cause it's really on there. and then finding a stong enough material to hold it do will be a journey
