You may remember my recent thread discussing a sun roof repair / patch method that I was proud of.

Well, It seems I've wasted my time.

It turns out Sun Roofs are back in style and cool again.  Looks what's all the rage at SEMA this year. 

And guess what my new project car has?  STYLE, that's what it has, STYLE, not a dreaded, hated sun roof. 

It's in great shape (the sun roof, not the Z) works fine and the roof is stiff as anything around it.

Real happy I don't have to repeat the whole cut and patch on this car. How could I DARE to spoil such a special vintage, highly coveted (well it will be once the SEMA Car pictures are spread far and wide, right?) feature.

BTW, thanks to Datsun Dave for making me aware of this break through styling development

Which goes to show that, if you wait long enough, everything comes back for a second (or third, or fourth) run.  Next up: plaid bell-bottom dress pants.

Looks like I can finally retire my patching tools for now and just enjoy the car as it is. It’s funny how trends come full circle what was once a “problem” is now a premium feature again. Still, I’ve learned a lot from that last project, and it’s good to know where to turn if real repairs ever become necessary. For anyone dealing with leaks, rust, or structural wear on their vehicle or property roof, Roof Repair Brandon is the go-to local service for quality, affordable, and reliable roofing solutions that last.

That’s awesome! Funny how trends come full circle what used to be a hassle is now a highlight. Sounds like your new project car’s sunroof is in great shape, and you get to enjoy that vintage style without extra work. Nice find!

Excellent job reinvigorating a seven year old post!!! You're exactly right, things always come around again!!! Do you have bondo in your roof?

How is Jan? Say hello to Dwight!!!
