So my sunroof broke over the weekend at the show while I was playin 17hz. Not the actual glass but the metal framing that holds it on.

This is the other side (front left), its cracked halfway across

I took it off the car today to get a better look at it and I found more fracture lines on all four corners that I couldn't see from in the car.

There's fractures on all four corners of the metal frame but this one is the worst. So I don't exactly know what I'm gonna do about it yet. If I get it replaced with a new one I would have to strengthen it somehow to keep it from breaking again. I don't think it can be welded since its so thin and close to the glass. Has anyone ever fixed something like this?

Impressive numbers from the trunk. That is a great box.

I just got done looking at your build log haha. Weird timing!!

Do you have any measurements from the opening of your trunk before you put that IB plate in there? Like what size box would fit between the fender wells and under the rear deck?

We are looking for a project car. Looked at a malibu but I forget what year it was lol.

Lol I considered that, but I think it would be a pretty big project. Plus I like hairtricking my own hair out the sunroof while driving lol

Maybe you should make or buy a sunroof plug.

That might not help the issue though... on second thought, just turn the bass down. :drink40:

Find a very experienced welder in your area and have him reinforce a new sunroof for you. Don't try to fix the old one.
