Just a heads up, were doing free shipping on all roofs (all 6LE and McNord products actually) until the end of July so it's the best time to buy if you can't find a good used replacement
So I have a 2000 that had the bubbles in 2007, and Mac Haik in Houston was kind enough to replace the roof in 2007 under warranty (even though it had expired) and all was well until now. I now see a zig zag line in the center of the roof appearing and what looks like 2 small chips. They had the memo on this issue, so I'm surprised this is happening. This is the actual hardtop roof - the rear sail panel piece looks ok. I'm looking at the 6litereater replacement - can anyone name a good shop in Houston area to tackle this? Thanks!
The shop had to order to Expoxy (which is a good thing), but that took an extra day. The panel is getting painted today and baked this weekend. Then all gets installed and clamped down to dry on Monday.

Tues is looking like the pick-up date.
I'm kind of curious, how much are they charging for this job. And I may have missed this but are you using 6les replacement roof or a donor roof?
The replacement Sail Panel is finally done! It took 1 week and a day to complete, and $475 total.
Originally estimated at $350, but that didn't include the urethane, epoxy, or taxes. Time wise, I know the shop didn't bother reading GM's bulletin I had given them in advance. Once the car was in their hands, the adhesives and such were ordered and shipped. The epoxy was applied and set for a day, also they baked the sail panel over the weekend after painting, and clamped it on to dry for a day.
This is a new sail panel from 6LE. the fit looks perfect, the shop didn't complain about issues fitting it on.
The before pictures I had didn't show the bubbling very well, but we all know what that looks like. I did not visit the shop during the process!
I snapped a few after pictures just now, the shadows from the sun make the gaps look larger / un-even, but that is not the case in person.

I see what you mean, in those pictures there appear to be a few gapping issues (specifically the panel appearing to have been mounted a bit too close to the rear window trim and a bit too far from the t-top edge.) I had an OEM panel installed on my '02 car back when you could still get them from GM, the body shop did a decent job but the gapping wasn't as perfect as stock. This was an OEM panel so I'm certain that the issue was installer error rather than panel production tolerances.
Glad to hear that yours is just the lighting though. Mine looked like that in person.

I'm confused: does the 20 orders price only come into play if you sell 20? Or is it up to 20 at that price guaranteed?
I may jump on this, just because of the price, but I wouldn't be able to install until next spring: if there was a fitment issue would you warranty it up until then?

Sorry for the confusing post, I'm going to reword it actually...
Here's the deal, RK Sport is giving us 20 AT THAT PRICE. So if one buys or 20 buy, you get it for the sale price posted.
HOWEVER, once the 20 are sold the sale is over.
We will BUT you HAVE to INSPECT THE PART when you get it. NOT TEST FIT, just INSPECT IT before you sign for it to make sure there's no shipping damage.
