sunroof plug

So has anyone took their 240sx to a shop and got the sunroof plugged, patched what ever you call it so it looks like a normal hardtop?
I find a lot of good deals on s14 in my area but they all have sunroofs. I'm thinking it would cost about a grand to have a shop weld up the hold where the sunroof would be, repaint it, and have a new headliner installed. How much do you think it would cost?

That would be my vote as well. Pull off your head liner, remove sunroof assembly, put sunroof delete panel in with a heavy bead of windshield adhesive, fill hole in head liner, recover with fabric of your choice. Done and done.

If you are going that route, then id suggest they cut the whole roof skin off a donor car and yours, and then weld it in in place. A filler panel welded in will cost more money due to fabrication. Not to mention you will still have all that Sunroof mounting shit underneath.

And the Kognition Panel is the shit! And a fraction of what you would pay for a shop to fab/weld something.

thats a pretty dam good idea Kognition.
now can it be sanded down flush and painted? I can live with the fact that it wont be welded in and their will be a seam were the metal roof and painted panel meet.
