You don't. They aren't removable. You'd have to cut it out and weld in a new one.

By asking this question, you don't know enough to do it yourself. Do you want to risk breaking your neck in a rollover because you didn't do it right?

If you mean just the skin of the roof, Im sure it can be fixed.

But yes, if the frame of the roof is smashed, your cars resale value just went down the tubes.

Man if it did that much dammage get all your trick parts off it and send it down the road to your local Pick&Pull (I know down here they are giving $200 for non runners) and find another body for your parts.

Its a non turbo,
The frame isnt hurt at all, just dents in the roof, I punch some of them out from inside the car when I was pissed haha.

This is just my DD pos car so maybe ill just throw some bondo ontop and rattle can it.

Not looking for a show car.

1. Remove front windshield
2. Remove rear hatch
3. Remove head liner and all neccesary items
4. Drill or grind the spot welds out. I use the grinder method.
5. Cut seam seal
6. Lift roof skin off.
7. Clean area verywell.
8. Put non-dented roof skin in place, spot weld.
9. Seam seal EVERYTHING.
10. Paint
11. Put back together. Done
