    Comment: Hi Pete, just a daft question why did you reskin the roof? Thought it may have been easier to swap them out completely with the frame and all then graft the whole replacement onto the car to save you all the work removing the original and skin. Don

    Comment: NO! With all the inner structure and the proper fitman of the front and back windshield and also lineing up the side windows/doors it's always much easier to reskin then to replace the whole roof assembly. The only time you replace the "WHOLE" thing is if it's a roll over or bad collision where the inner structure is ruined.

    Comment: Pete, Great video! Question on the drip rail, I have a 2000 jeep cherokee XJ with a drip rail that looks like it is removable? I need to patch both the left front and right front corners of the roof from rust measuring about 4x4 extending into the windshield channel on both sides. I will remove the windshield and rubber molding, but would i also remove the drip rail and replace it after the repair or leave it in place. I can still get the whole roof, so i can cut out what i need.

    Comment: If your drip rail is removable it's better to take it off to do the repairs you need to do, then re-install it after your done.
