R32 Sunroof Rust

[VashR31]

Hey there all.

Pulled the sun roof out to find shot loads of rust, decided that the only way to stop more movement, to remove the glass and descale sand antirust and thickly primer and coat in gloss, but only troubles removing the glass I shattered it.

Now ive cleaned up the metal insert and chosen the idea to use Perspex,

Does anyone know the thickness of the glass, or a better idea?

Nissan qouted me 1550$

Contacted 7 import wreckers and they don't work with full car shells let along sun roofs.

And a different brand roof replace is way too exy.

Any wrecked 32s with sun roofs??

Thanks

Any glazier can tell you what thickness the glass is just by feel; or of course, Vernier Calipers will give you the exact measurement.

Using the same thickness perspex (eg smoke colour could be cool), would probably need to be coated with something so that it doesn't scratch as a consequence of fine particles - but it would certainly be lighter than glass.

sunroof thickness is between 2.5-3 mm i only have a tape measure so cant get exact measurements hope that helps tho

hi!

Are you perhaps intrested in selling your shattered sunroof?

The rubber trimming on mine is broken, and this is not sold seperatly by nissan, so therefor I´m looking for a used one,so if your rubber trimming and the frame that holds it is in good shape and you want to sell it, then I´m intrested in buying it from you

I'd PM him Philip because the OP hasn't returned... except possibly to visit...

No ifs & buts that way.
