So are you saying to actually lop off the a and c pillars? How would I reweld the new roof? There's so many tucks and turns and folds in there, how would you possibly get the torch in there to weld it all up. Contact area would be reduced by 50 percent least. Sounds like a flexi flyer.

A local gearhead assured me that trying to just weld a chunk into the roof will never work. It will always be visible no matter how hard you try to make it match the arc of the roof. If the roof was 100 percent flat, maybe, but it's not.

And oh Yes Gary, in answer to your question the sunroof is completely unacceptable it needs to go. Have always hated those things,

I'm assuming option 5 "keep the sunroof there" is not viable because it leaks or / and you hate it.

Thus your main options are from less to more complexity and expense. So with the KISS principle in mind, welding in
and painting is the one.

Then follow along your original list except 4, which is a last resort.
