Default Roof skin

Ok

so finally got around to fitting the roof skin. I removed all the spot welds on the old and new roof. I took the old roof off no problems as I did not need to be delicate with it. The new roof skin however is another matter. It is seperated everywhere apart from the 2 fron corners where is seems to be glued between the roof skin and the roof structure. I have tried to be gentle but to no avail. IT WILL NOT SEPERATE

anyone done this before? second picture gfives you an idea of where I am trying to seperate te panel

Pretty sure you can still buy them from Porsche if you get stuck.

I know Rod has done this with his 968 project. Sure there are others.

Bump for this.. did you get it done? I have similar project waiting. I guess I'll better start by removing the "new" panel first!
