Does anyone know or have experience with taking a sunroof coupe (any year 911), removing the sunroof machinery, sealing the hole, and covering the roof with a new headliner? It seems this would be an easier fix to lighten the car and gain headroom. Thanks!
But I didn't do it to look pretty - after welding in the outer sunroof skin, I sealed the panel with Caulk - then glued up a cheesy vinyl headliner.
It is certainly not that hard, adds headroom and takes out weight. You could easily bondo up the gap and repaint, and use a factory headliner and have what looks like a sunroof delete car.
The current issue (February 07') of Excellence has a review of an 993RS conversion where he said that it's easier to weld in a new roof as compared to "plugging" the old hole as he had done both.
