coming along nice man, finally read through your entire build log, im always down to help with builds/installs myself

Cool deal. I've got to brace behind the sunroof, as that's where most of the flexing in the roof is. I was freaking sick this weekend so I haven't done crap. I have 25 sq ft of deadener waiting to go in.

It has made a huge difference as far as with what I call "the wave" on my roof. I say about half of it is done, as in the back half. I can tell a difference. Also, there are quite a few less rattles. I put some under this metal piece above my head, some pointless metal piece. It and the bottom lip of my sunroof where banging together. It no loner does that where it's audible. So idk, maybe not it's intended purpose, but it works.

Yes.

It works, but I can only open up the rear part of it. The wooden piece blocks the path of the glass.

Alright so I removed part of a sunroof that was a drain apparently. So the sunroof is designed to leak. I happened to remove part of the drain, and guess what it did all over my truck today. Ya...so I said fuck you sunroof you're getting sealed. Idk if this was a good idea or not, but this is what it's going to be. I have had a bad day //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Any opinions on my wood? Lol. But seriously, I'd like to know who else has done this. In the end, there is going to be pieces from side to side as well.
