    Default Sun Roof Fill in?

    I guess that is what i would call it, I got a 92 hatch with doble sunroofs and i dont want them. I bought the car like that and im ready to get rid of them. They dont leak or anything i just dont use them. does anyone have a clue how i can fill these in? Does anyone make filler panels for them? thank you

    Your best bet is replacing the roof skin. I'm in the process of getting it done to my ef hatch that has an aftermarket sunroof in it. You should be able to get a bodyshop to order it and install it. Another option is getting a carbon fiber overlay and placing that over you roof.

    the stock should be metal. stick it up there, make brackets on the inside, the weld and put seal around it
