Has anyone done a write up on thier installof a GT Racing fiberglass sunroof panel? Just wondering what kind of adhesive they used and if they can offer any tips or tricks that made install go smoother. I got the panel for free so I thought I'd spend a little money on customizing it.
What do you think?

 

I like the side mirrors. So, what road course event are you going to next? See you there maybe?

 

Rather General Lee-ish

 

Ha. No, not really. That is a TEXAS flag. He's from Texas. - It's a Texas thing. you guys wouldn't understand.

 

I was just stating that having a flag on the roof is general lee-ish. Trust me I know the difference between the confederate and texas flags.

 

Its all fun.

 

Ya, its a Texas thing. I'll be at the NASA race at Eagles Canyon on Oct. 11 & 12
I guess I'm just going to use black silicone to glue it in, then put the clips back on the four corners.
so 95one, I've been wanting to see your car at the track, any chance you'll be there? We need some more racers in the GTS class in Texas.

 

I did like texas when I was there... I still haven't figured out the "texas thing though." The steaks at least are bigger in texas, at least in amarillo! 72oz of heaven

 

So is that how became known as "big" Deano?

 

I dry fitted mine as a firsts step and used shims to get it level with the roof skin. I then masked either side of the joint ie on the sunroof side and the roof skin side. I didn't do my corners well enough and had some bunching. You really want a constant thickness of masking tape all around.

I used 3M windshield adhesive (black). Small continuous bead in the groove of the roof channel.

I then installed the roof panel and made sure that it sat down on the shims and was level and equal gaps all around.

I then filled the groove with the sealer, making sure there was excess. I then squegeed off the excess. Then quickly remove the masking tape before it sets up.

You don't have much time and have to work fast.

I then installed a roof lining, gluing the fabric to the roof and trimming under the side windows and door seals etc.

The heat got to my lining and the fabric is now coming off. However now they have changed the stock rules so I dont need a roof lining anymore so will probably remove it all together.

I have seen others install them dry and use dzus fasteners, so its easy to remove.

 

I'm 6'1" and only weigh 155 but I can eat the hell outta some food. My grocery bill every month is sickening!

 

Definately a Texas thing. Phil, you should post some pics of your engine bay!
You have one phenomenal 951.
