The only panels that are not spot welded in place on 1960 Four Door cars are those that were added at the dealer. I have three of these apart and they were definitely spot welded when installed at the factory, about 150 welds per side.

Also, there are no spot welds holding the panels to the roof. There is a lip on the edges of the panel that slide under the trim molding. There are also a few dabs of adhesive in the middle of them.
