    Interesting. Thanks for sharing these. I guess you can add me to the "suspicious list", lol. 95% of my time with 911's was with G body cars until picking up my '72 last year. I can tell you amongst that crowd and over on the seabird site that "sunroof delete" is quite commonly used. I did a search on the term over there and came back with 25 pages of results.

    I always ask if they just filled the hole, or cut it off at the pillars and replaced the whole thing.

    There is at least one "rolled" RS America I saw a few years back in the bodyshop I use that won't match its COA anymore from this activity. Sunroof to no sunroof.

    Value added? LOL

    Non sunroof clips used to be plentiful, but they are hard to find in good condition and they are expensive if you do...
