Default roof

Some Previous owner put a sunroof in my car that I am not a big fan of. I have been looking for a way to take it out. I saw that mustangunlimited.com makes a roof skin but they only make it for a fastback. Does anyone know where I could find a roof skin for a 67 coup?
thanks

A roof skin for a coupe? Never heard of such an animal. Good luck in your quest. Otherwise, invest in some sunscreen.

I have the same problem on my coupe. The PO installed a sunroof and had about 2 inches of silicone all the way around it to keep it from leaking. I wanted to get rid of it at first, but I think I have decided to keep mine and replace it with one that will not leak.

Of course...the fastback skin is relatively flat and one piece. But, the coupe has the side wings that have to attack to the rear quarter.

True dat. Replacing a roof on a coupe is just not worth the money. Either live with it, fix the sunroof or sell it and get a real MUSTANG.

you would probably warp the crap out of the roof when trying to welding in a patch panel. there aren't any body lines or anything there to help keep the panel straight.
