GRP Sunroof lining

Post by isrmdtmr1 » Wed Jun 23, 2021 2:36 pm

Hi
I have replaced my sunroof with a fibreglass one. But I am a bit concerned about drilling the new one for the roof lining fittings. Has anybody got experience in installing the lining to a fibreglass sunroof panel?
Thanks in advance.

I believe that others have used Velcro

I driled mine and put the OEM holders in the sunroof,go very gently with the drill/bit
but to be honest as long as the lining locates with the rear u shaped holder double sided
velcro will be fine

If in doubt, drill through a bit of dowel and cut it exactly to length so it acts as a stop that prevent you drilling too deep. Or use velcro!
