Trader Rating: (0) Feedback Score: 0 reviews | S13 Sunroof Delete I am considering removing and filling in the sunroof on my S13 and I am curious as to whether or not a non-sunroof headliner can be installed in place of the sunroof headliner. Yes I searched and yes I found some fairly vauge information on how to do a sunroof delete but no I was not able to find any information on the headliner so I appreciate any info that I can get here. |

| Premium Member   | Wise choice to seal up your sunroof. But an even wiser choice would be to find a non-sunroof chassis and go from there. I'm sure there is someone out there that wants to trade their non-sunroof model for a sunroof model. |

Trader Rating: (0) Feedback Score: 0 reviews | I understand the actual repair portion of the process I just don't want to do it and then not be able to make a headliner fit. Also, I'm not sealing it off as it doesn't leak. It does however rarely get used and it squeaks and creaks whenever I go over any size bump. Posted from Zilvia.net App for Android |

What it really comes down to is coupe vs hatch I know those are different chassis but the most part the foreword section is the same for both chassis.

Trader Rating: (0) Feedback Score: 0 reviews | From my searches it seems like the easiest and best way to delete the sunroof is to cut the roof skin off of your car and weld on a non-sunroof roof skin to your existing car. Go to a junk yard and get a donor roof or buy one from Nissan. Welding in sheet metal and getting the curvature right is going to be difficult. Thats a rather large area to start from scratch with. It will take tons of work to make it look straight.
