RE: now for the bad thing. A moon roof!! HELP

My thought/suggestion is your ’65 Coronet is such a nice-looking iconic Mopar that you should get professional estimates from a body shop to repair the breach and budget to afford the repair. In the meantime, fix what is “needed” for safety and enjoyment of the car and go cruising.

Subject: Re: now for the bad thing. A moon roof!! HELP

It’s important to know that installing a vinyl roof requires the underlying surface to be smooth and free of rust.

By smooth, I mean that roof repairs, such as closing up a sunroof hole, must return the top surface to being exactly as smooth as the original unmodified roof. Essentialy, the roof must be OEM smooth. If you don’t do this, any surface imperfections will telegraph through the vinyl and the whole thing will look terrible. Installing a vinyl roof over your former sunroof hole will NOT make the task any easier. The sheet metal repair to the roof must be done regardless — to just as good quality as if your intent were to paint the roof.

I found some 65 coronets online with vinyl roofs. They look good with them depending on color combo.
