Question on roof Options.

[drake]

The previous owner got in a accident with my car and i have gone through everything replacing and lining everything up but, the roof has been massively dented by the hood comeing up on him. What are my options is this something i can grab from a junkyard and bolt in or is this a part that is welded in and needs to be put in by a shop. Thanks

Have you taken it to a body shop yet

ya it looks like from what they said the metal is stretched to far for them to bump it out.... Thats why im asking if its bolt on or welded in. I would check it myself but its pouring outside lol and don't wanna take it off if its a waste of time.

The roof is welded because it is a structural member. Go to some other body shops. You might be able to save some $$ by removing the headliner, driprail and rear 1/4 moldings yourself.

Does anyone hear know how to remove those exterior pieces, I haven't ever done it.

you take plastic pieces off and there are bolts that run accross the top to take those pieces off. Prob ganna have to take drill with spot welder bit and pick one up from junk yard and have the people at the shop tack on in then.

It is most defiantly a weld in project and not for the standard home repair body man.

Take the plastic interior pieces off? I am assuming that the exterior trim is through bolted through the roof then.
