Roof
They aint cheap (GM part only). Helpful info from this site shows the repair done by by breaking the old one off in pieces, and then replacing it with a new one. https://ls1tech.com/forums/paint-bod...-yourself.html However, I've been told you can make a tool to cut through the adhesive and remove a good part from a donor car. Take some piano wire (as the SB suggests), cut a couple of 2x2's to use as handles, drill a hole through each, then thread/wrap the wire through. I have yet to try this but you should be able to feed the wire under 1 side and then pull or saw the wire through the adhesive while a buddy lifts the part as you go. I plan on locating a pre-98 car with a good roof (sail panel) in a local salvage yard, offer them $25 or so to let me try and remove it. If it works then I'll post. If it don't I'm out a few $$. Heck if it works, I might even video it and post. I dont know bout you, I hate lookin at those bubbles yet I would rather spend that $$$ on some new longtubes, or a cam, or a..... you get my point?
