roof rot malibu

[Longroof79]

David,
The whole roof skin would make a cleaner repair in my opinion. The roof looks different because it's from a Landau model. The B-pillars are wider. Guys actually dislike the wider Landau pillars and convert them to the thinner coupe style. Otherwise the roof section is the same.
Take a closer look at the back of your roof...hopefully there's no more hidden surprises.

Jack, do you think the skin is the same from Landau to non-Landau?

That's what I was thinking to mr Jack. The back of roof has holes to in the top. The member said it was landau roof that was changed to standard. Would it be a big deal with the larger b pillars just to remove them and use my smaller pillars? Thanks again to Jared and you.

Would like to know that myself...

Jared and Dave,
I can't see any difference other than the wider landau B-pillars. Sometimes they incorporate a a half vinyl top...in that case you'll either see a border trim or holes where there was trim before.
In other words, the roof skin should be identical to the standard coupe.
Oh, and another difference is the quarter window glass. When guys do the Landau to non-Landau conversion, the quarter glass needs to be swapped out to the standard coupe type as well.

Also, this shouldn't concern you, but, when Landau pillars are swapped out, the quarter glass also has to be replaced with the standard coupe quarter glass.

The member said it had landau at one time but was taken off and converted. I may go this route for cleaner install.

I'm surprised he went thru the trouble of swapping out the entire roof, pillars and all, when all he had to do is swap the B-pillars and quarter glass. He did retain the C-pillars, though.
Where is the roof located?

I believe he said it was already like that when he got it. It's in ct. G-boz. CTGbody.com. Seems like a nice fella and got some nice parts

I have purchased from G-boz. It was a good experience.
