White phase 1, now with added truck turbo and massive head gasket failure

That's the best way mate, is the 12mm stuff heavy?

the full sheet id say weighs about 4 or 5 kg, so a sunroof sized cutout of that i would guess weighs just under a kilo, maybe less. It certainly weighs nothing in comparison the the glass sunroof and the sliding mechanism, that weighs about the same as a medium sized car battery!

Why were you removing the sunroof to replace the windscreen ?

to accomodate the electric sunroof mechanism the roof lining had a big box section that runs from the front all the way to the rear light, because the roof lining is a good couple of inches lower than a non sunroof car you cant see the top of the screen so cutting around the seal is impossible without taking the roof lining off, but the reason ive taken the whole lot out is because the dent in the roof needs sorting before the new glass goes in, therefore sunroof out

Might take the sunroof out of mine! Sounds like you know what your doing chap. Nice one

if your in pursuit of weight saving then getting rid of the sunroof should be the first thing you do, it weighs bloody loads! its like having a car battery bolted the roof in terms of how heavy it is
