I\'m thinking about getting rid of the sunroof on mine, what exactly needed trimming?

I think ideally, I just need to lose all the motor and rail gubbins, remove the rubber trim and just weld in the sunroof plate, failing that, just weld/pop rivet a sheet of ally over the hole?

vert roll cages are rare to come by as the rear arms are different to the coups. would need to get the rear arms ... edited (cant think of the word... cut and rewelded..) ah.. modified lol

1/2 cage might fit ok depending how high the roofline sits as its mainly the sunroof mechanism at the front thats in the way.

Any chance you could weigh that? I might consider removing mine if it\'s a decent amount. Plus I haven\'t fitted a RC myself yet.
