E46 sunroof delete
€120.00
BMW E46 coupe/sedan/ti/touring SUNROOF DELETE panel
Replaces heavyweight OEM steel sunroof. Completely eliminates the sunroof opening mechanism. Measured weight-saving 21kg off the roof.
Benefits: significant weight saving, shifts center of gravity to a lower point, and in theory compliments car balance and handling if properly set-up. Gives you another 5-7cm of headroom, which is very beneficial for tall drivers wearing a helmet (me being 193cm tall was struggling a lot before getting rid of sunroof mech).
Installation. There are small holes on the sunroof opening. Test fit, measure needed amount of shims(spacers) to level the panel with a roof, silicone the panel(oversized outer edges are there for that), and secure with the bolts/screws.
Important notice!!! We have few customers(less than 10 out of 100+) that claims panel is not fitting right. We tried to gather info on the body type and model year of affected cars to understand the difference but no luck. So there is a small chance your car belongs to those “irregular” ones.
MATERIAL – Reinforced FRP, with the added layer of multi-axial fiberglass cloth. This has improved the structural rigidity of the panel. Letting us make them lightweight but very rigid.
*Use of silicone or any other bonding/insulating material suggested around a perimeter of the panel to ensure no water leaks allowed into the interior.
*Professional Installation by a body shop is recommended. Modifications may be necessary to ensure proper fitment and may include cutting, trimming, filling, sanding, and customizing.
*Prior to painting it is suggested to pre-heat the panel in order to release trapped air under a gel coat.
