5 cans of vinyl paint that you can get at pep boys at 8 dollars a can. you have to take the whole sunroof assembly out which wasnt the fun o meter

 

the sunroof removal is cake takes 5 min i guess i will try and cover it with the suede. i dont like how shiney it looks after paint i was gonna paint the pillars the same color and i dont waht them shiney like that.

 

I just took the sunroof sliding piece out. didnt have to remove the sunroof assembly at all.

 

dont use rattle can....check it out. heres a base model tan interior to black...no rattle can except the fabric parts.

 

well watd you use on the plastic?? an like dude said, I don't like the shiney look either ... I like how whyyoumadson? did his dash, came out perfect an stockish lookin... I'm shootin for somethin like that..

 

special sealer that adheres to plastic. basecoat with hardner and flex

 

this is sounding more an more like somethin I shouldn't' do myself How much would somethin like this run to get done professionally? like roof, sunroof piece, dash, an doors? That'd be the only way I could get it done... I don't like the whole mismatch look

 

thats the oem color..... its slightly off but i doubt you would really notice it in all honesty. repainting everything is a lot.....

just do the upper half of the car an d call it a day...the way you talk if your going to do the doors quarter trim and all that non sense you might aswell do the dash and crap.....which doing the glovebox, cubby hole areas are a nightmare and wont last.

 

Try painting the weather stripping with plasti-dip

 

^^ Ima jus leave well enough alone... well till I follow thru with this winnin the lottery plan that I've been plottin

 

^^^^ haha

im not just gonna rattle can them im gonna take the time to primer, color, clear and fine wetsand all the way to 2000 and then hit it with some rubbing compound. should come out real nice from rattle can.

 

the flash on my camera just gives off more of a shine that what is really seen. i used flat black

 

So, I dropped the back half of the assembly, and removed the little bar that goes across. I still cannot get that damn shade to slide out. Anywhere else something may be attached, that I'm not seeing?

 

i said it was just easier to take the sunroof out

 

Well, lets just say I cant move the sunroof to get the last screws out and remove the glass. It would make taking the whole thing out a lot easier. And by myself, the weight of all of it combined with bad leverage from sitting under it means I can't take it all out at once. I just dont want it falling on me. lol

 

theres 2 torx screws on the top to remove a beam in the rear. after thats removed you might see these 2 little things that are sort of a stopper. they are real big and you can work the sunroof piece past it. you can see with a light just toy with the sunroof piece and give it a good tug and it should sneak past them.

 

Okay... I put the bar back in last night so I wouldn't lose anything. I'll take it back out and give it a shot since I have better light. I didn't see the other stoppers before. Thanks!

 

Anyone ever figure out what kind of weather stripping to get for this?

 

sub'd

 

i had it painted with special paint at the local painter. turned out good just have to go back and have trim pieces painted and front pillars and get visors covered,.
