Title: how to change roof panel
Post by: 131DHOC on October 28, 2009, 07:46:32 AM
I noticed that forum member Yagmur sells new roof steel panels from Turkey:

Now this is the question: how is the 131 roof fixed? Is it welded or is there just some "glue" as in hood cover structure? Is it cheaper to fix rust spots that are in the corners near windscreen or should I better buy a new one?
Thank you for your info,  ;D

it is spot welded the whole way around & it is (or knowing fiat not) also sealed between the 2 panels.

if the problem are just rust spots around windscreen, fix those. if it's rotten all the way around as i saw few times, than it's easyer to chanhe the whole panel
