BassHead810 Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 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?

SCS_Audio Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 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.

BassHead810 Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Do you really want a sunroof? You could always just delete it 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 My 150+ Trunk Build Log Current Setup2 DC XL15's Crossfire XS-8K AudioControl Epic-150Mechman 250 amp altXS D3100 under hood 2 XS D3100 in TrunkSecondSkin Sound Deadening - 120+ sq ft Damplifier Pro2012 North American Street Stock Runner-up - 150.9 on 1800 clamped watts 2013 dB Drag Street Trunk World Champion - 153.9 on 3200 clamped Watts 2013 MECA Trunk 1 World Champion - 152.8 Headrest 2013 MECA Park & Pound 2 World Champion - 130.6My youtube channel (click for Hairtricks) Team dbAddicts Team DC Audio dcsoundlab.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBetterMethod Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Maybe you should make or buy a sunroof plug. http://www.lighterfaster.com/13194.html That might not help the issue though... on second thought, just turn the bass down. 2005 Subaru Outback Wagon Pioneer 9400BH Fi Q 15, SAZ1500dV3 The first build>>> http://www.stevemead...-outback-build/ 140.9 @ 36hz Sealed on dash!

TheBetterMethod Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 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. 2005 Subaru Outback Wagon Pioneer 9400BH Fi Q 15, SAZ1500dV3 The first build>>> http://www.stevemead...-outback-build/ 140.9 @ 36hz Sealed on dash!
