Default Sunroof - do not want!

Hello all,

New dakker has a sunroof. TJ is tall (2m) and thus his large head maketh contact with sunroof.

I dont care if the roof is there, but I want more headroom.

Can I just bash a non sunroof headliner in it and forget it exists? Or does the roof and mechanism itself stop this?

If so ... what options exist? I dont really feel like cutting roofs off a car.

Before anyone bothers, I no give a fark for the comfort/cool factor of the roof. This thing has air con, and this is way ahead of my old car by far already.

ask rob, he got a whole roof skin in for his car and a non sunroof headliner. your other option would be to pull out the whole mechanism and weld the hole up.

Jester has the right idea.
change the roof skin and fit a standard headlining.
there are not too many people that could weld a plate in the hole without didtorting the f@#k out of the roof skin,
just fit a new standard one.

It has 05 sti seats in atm - they are coming out though as they wernt part of purchase.

Even from memory, with 99 sti seats in its going to be an interesting battle.
