HomeHOW TO DO AN ADVANCED SEARCH.
Mon Jul 08, 2013 3:56 pm by Admin
For the benefit of 944Hybrids users there are two search functions available for you to use.
The purpose of this sticky is to explain the "Advanced Search" function because it is much more powerful and is the best choice when researching information.
When you log on to the site a list of options is shown in a line at the top of the page. One option is labelled "Search", use this option (NOT the search box lower down on the right).
After you click on the upper search option, a drop down box appears. At the bottom of this box is a radio button marked "Advanced …

is that a permanent panel?
and if so how do you install it and how waterproof is the seal?
i want to get rid of my sunroof because of the leaking, and i never use it.
i was thinking about having a body shop weld some sheet metal in place of the factory one, but it would probably cost more than this.
thank you,
nick

I think it is a replacement for the factory sunroof that you can mount your panel to, I don't think it's a permanent panel to remove the sunroof.

It's a replacement , light weight panel. You can use poly urethane wind shield adhesive to seal and glue it in place. These are very thin and light for racing applications, although if you would like one for a street car, I can make it a little thicker and add a few thick areas that you could use self tapping screws in. Even thickened up it shouldn't weigh much over 5 or 6 lbs. I removed all the sunroof motor and related parts, They weighed in at about 28lbs

what do you think a "street version" would cost?
and how would you go about sealing it from water?
urethane and screws?

The urethane should keep the water out. If you fill the gap and smooth it off even with the rest of the roof. If your doing it on a painted car just use blue masking tape around the edges then fill in the gap and smooth to a nice radius, then remove the tape and your done.
I'll PM you on the price.

I bonded my steel delete panel in a couple of weeks ago with 3M 08115 adhesive. I filled the channel, placed the panel in and topped off the seam. Then I ran a bead around the inside. I doubt it will ever come out.
