Now that you have your sunroof panel converted to manual, it is time to install those "ramps" that you cut off the donor car. I chose to rivet them into place but if you were careful I suppose you could weld them in place.
Picture 1 - These raised areas are what the "ramps" set screw rest on so you want to center the ramp here.
I pre-drilled the "ramps" and positioned them to mark where on the car to drill. You also want to either pull the headliner down a little in this area or have a stop on your drill bit so that you do not go through the headliner.
Picture 2- shows me drilling the holes. I drilled 3/16" holes and used 3/16" aluminum pop rivets.
Picture 3 - Pop riveting the "ramps" in place. It's a good idea to put a little sealer of some sort under the ramps before riveting them into place.
Picture 4 - This shows the ramp riveted in place.
Picture 5 - Installing the side rails that came from the donor car.
(please wait to respond to this thread until we are done posting the pictorial)
