Title: sunroof
Post by: Andy B on 22 July 2008, 21:25:40
Of all the people with a scabbly alloy(?) frame around your sunroof, has anyone actually done owt with it?  :-/
Having spent half of yesterday afternoon washing, claying (for the first time ever on any car) polishing & then waxing it, (my shoulder is sore now! :'() it now makes the frame look 'orrible! :(
I don't particularly want to take all the roof assembly out though.  :-/

 ...... and are you planning on doing it with the roof still fitted or removed? Spray or brush?

Thing is, I cant risk taking it out for long enough to prep it and for the paint to dry......so it needs to be done whilst fitted in my case!

Thing is i can't be 4r$ed taking mine out to prep, looks to be toooo involved! The last sunroof assemby I removed, I was 3 cars up in a scrap yard, & someone else fitted it to SWMBO's Hyundai.
Removal though does seem as though it would be best.
