sorry for any confusion I may have caused here. When I said that I had the glass sunroof before, I meant on my previous 992 that I owned. I ordered this car with the carbon fiber roof from factory… it was not changed. I do not believe that you could easily or cheaply go through that process. Likely easier to trade the car in.

I've done this on a few cars - it's actually not that difficult. Installing the new lid is a snap - it just glues on with 4 nuts. Removing the sunroof is more of a challenge, but if you aren't worring about salvaging the sunroof, makes it a bit easier. Normally the front windscreen needs to bet out - and preferably the rear window as well. I haven't done one with the rear window installed, but think it would be possible. Best time to consider doing this is when replacing a cracked or chipped front windscreen.
There are basically 3 types of carbon roofs:
