Get roof cut sunroofs at most surplus shops in the metropolis. Sa Cinco Aurora Blvd. meron yan.

Mas advisable ang roof cut na sunroof para maiwasan iyong mga tagas/tulo.

HTH!

pag roof cut po ba e papalitan yung buong roof?

For Lancer sunroof minsan may dumarating kaming pang Libero rooofcut. Text me na lang (0920)9052133 we also install sunroof.

if you plan to get a sunroof i believe the best way to do so is to get an entire roofcut. Yes they will have to weld it in so make sure they do a good job, then the new paint job should cover it nicely.

btw, when you get a roofcut does the interior come with it? i mean, there has to be a hole in the interiror for you to see the glass right?

Yes, most of the roof cuts I see may kasama pang interior. Medyo madumi lang nga kasi iba-ibang kamay na ang humahawak at exposed na.

So what the others do is to either pa-shampoo or pa-reupholster, kung talagang di na matanggal.

Notice also na mas mababa ang ceiling ng mga bubong na may sunroof to accommodate the mechanism and the water channels.

HTH!

chb

ah talaga? mas mababa ba? hmm....would anyone know where in an eg6 the sunroof swithes usually are? i know you can put them anywhere...but in a jdm eg6 talaga, were would the switches be?

kuyaross

chb,
i think it is located at the dashboard.
beside the switches.

maybe this might help:

back to my previous question...wouldnt cutting and then welding the new roof into ur car bring about less integrity of ur whole car? i mean...putulin ung bubong and then weld lang ng bago? diba hihina ang car mo nun? question lang po..wen u get a roof cut di mo ba pwede ipa extract nalang ung sunroof and have them install it in ur car?

chb

i believe the welds should be strong enough to keep things from falling. on another note, if you want to just install the sunroof itself, whats the use of getting a roofcut? you might as well just install a sunroof by cutting a whole in your roof, then installing it there....problem there is that since you cut a whole in your roof, it might leak no matter how secure you make it....

sir why not try dun sa ziebart? i had my roof installed there 2years na and so far walang leaks. they just cut a hole sa roof then install it.
If im not mistaken, wala atang drainage yung roof nila e kaya the water just flows outside.I just bring the car to their shop once a year for checkup and tighten everything again. and also they put anti rust again. free of charge yun! hth. ;D
pero of course it comes with a price.hehe..
