Doug,

The guys who are restoring my car have an absolute horror story of a customer whose complete sunroof frame collapsed into the interior due to blocked drains and ensuing rust. The car was an otherwise clean E9.

BTW: The story has a happy ending as the car has been restored with a new custom made roof.

All the best,

Mathis


sunroof cars do have a tendancy to get some roof rust, but it's certainly minor compared to the fenders, rocker panels, doors & quarter panels.

i think where s/r cars are more likely to show serious rust is in the quarter panels because of blocked drainage.

i've never seen a s/r coupe with serious roof rust, expect maybe a parts car that's been sitting outside for years. has anyone else out there?
