This has been discussed before, unfortunately the only way to do it is to cut the whole roof off at the pillars and weld the one with the sunroof on. The factory roof for cars with sunroofs have a special lip that can't be duplicated on a non-sunroof car. I really wanted to do it too but I'm not about to cut my roof off. AFAIK, only one person on here has done this and it came out great but its just not worth it for me.

I forget who that was that did it, but he had damage and had to replace the roof anyways so it wasn't that big of a deal. I wander how much it would cost to slice off the roof like that?

Umm......

Try the search button.

No matter how you cut it, it's gonna cost alot, and I mean ALOT, of bucks.

Either to rplace the roof panel or to graft the sunroof in (if you can even find a body shop that will even try).

Don't even think about trying it yourself unless you are a very accomplished body man.

I would think that in order to get the "Lip " why would one cut the whole roof off and disterb the glass etc.

cut 6" away from the sunroof hole and cut in into your roof!

with todays urathane sealers etc it's even possable to put it in with out welding.

I know a guy who put t-top is a marada it turned out better tham oem.

To change the entire roof would be a lot of extra work.

 

[CaptainMorgan]

Changing the roof is a lot of work, but aftermarket sunroof's on our cars have problems for two reasons. One they leak like a ***** and yes you can get lucky with one that doesn't, but they also don't fit the curve of the roof the way that a stock one does.

I have the OTIS w/ sunroof switch, etc as well, but hell no, not going to make any attempt at it... too unshapely of a roof to work properly after the factory!
