Got the carbon roof on the car this weekend.
Had a little helper drill out all the rivets holding the Perspex sunroof in.
I decided to cut out some, but not all of the sheet metal in the roof.
I used SikaFlex 252 to bond the carbon panel to the remaining steel roof.
The Carbon roof weighs 1.5kg. The steel, Perspex and aluminium I removed weighs 3.7kg. Not a huge savings, but when you consider the roof is actually replacing a 25kg plus sunroof you gain some perspective. More importantly, I am hoping the car is now waterproof for the first time in years.
Car is on the trailer ready to be dropped at Morpowa after work tomorrow to look for the miss issue.
