Taking out the pan you need at least a 2 man job, there is a slight risk of damage but less likely than the headliner, biggest danger spot is when it comes out you have to fish the drive tubes around obstructions, I pulled the headliner and prepped for removing the sunroof pan on a Saturday, Sunday I removed the glass and pan filled the holes and reinstalled both the pan and headliner, It was close to midnight Sunday when I was done but I have a tendency to get side tracked (oh, wile I am here….) while working

One note, the roof is not very visible, it will be even less so after lift, as long as you roughly match the color and reflectiveness it will not be noticed by anybody, even with protruding fasteners when they are rattle cann’ed they disappear

I know it is hokey but it is a working inexpensive permanent fix that stops the rust, I guess I am the cheap skate of the 80’s forum
