logicaltuning 0 Posted February 10, 2006 has anyone had any experience of welding up the useless sunroof on their rado?? i dont use sunroofs at the best of times, and in our non functioning sunroofed rado we are considering welding it up when we take the rollcage further it will be useless anyway. has anybody got any advice on doing this mod?!?!

slot 0 Posted February 10, 2006 Has anybody got any advice on doing this mod?!?! Yeh . . . . dont do it !!! :wink: This has gota be a joke right ? What's is the point ? 85% of the b@stard's dont work anyways, why goto the extreme of welding up a common fault ! :?: Also the roof lining wouldn't match and probably burn the pucker to the ground in the process !!

logicaltuning 0 Posted February 10, 2006 my mates done it on his porsche anyway - in fact, i should ask him! :lol: http://www.zatzy.com/showthread.php?t=2 ... ge=1&pp=20 well, before he decided to cut the whole roof out and have a carbon fibre one instead :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

logicaltuning 0 Posted February 10, 2006 i would just leave it shut nornally, but its decided to sit at a funny angle, and would need respraying anyway as its scrathced to buggery. dont fancy buying another shell, dont really have the room for it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted February 10, 2006 If you weld it in, then you make the chassis more rigid and save the weight of the sunroof mech. I'd imagine any decent bodyshop can weld a plate in for you though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billinjah 0 Posted February 10, 2006 yup i want to weld mine in one day although logical doesnt have a headlining if you wanted one its only a peice of cardboard! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted February 10, 2006 You'll be putting alot of heat into the roof, it may start to buckle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted February 10, 2006 btw your mate with the porsche didnt actually weld his sunroof, he just filled the gaps with catty. but bloody hell hes not frightened of attacking the car with an angle grinder is he!?!?!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradophil 3 Posted February 10, 2006 Personally I would leave it alone, as daves16v says you will risk distortion of the roof panel when welding. Its a lot of work! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
logicaltuning 0 Posted February 10, 2006 btw your mate with the porsche didnt actually weld his sunroof, he just filled the gaps with catty. but bloody hell hes not frightened of attacking the car with an angle grinder is he!?!?!!! nah! lol considering it was already a bloody nice show/race car!!!! if you got to the end of that thread its possbily now the widest porsche in existence! :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
