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



There is such a small amount of metal holding the roof on these early B 2 Dr ht cars that I decided to install a roll bar in mine. Just for peace of mind.

you do realize there is a substructure through that top that stiffens
it.? Pulling a "skin" would make it horribly easy to deform without
all that substructure attached.. May be better just to change out the
entire top. And the shipping of either is going to be very expensive..

I called wildcat today. I think I will just buy a new (old) roof skin from
them, and replace the roof. I have credit on the books with them so
hopefully that will  be enough to buy the roof skin. Doesnt appear to be
that tough of a task.

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.

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.

To clarify my answer. They came with a vinyl roof, not a moon roof

A
moon roof!! Yuck! I used this to beat him down on the price. Anybody
ever
dealt with this before as to how to reverse the most aggregious sin..
The
simplest would be if the 65 coronet came with a vinyl roof, but I
don't think they did. Did they?
