Andrew Chua Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 it's commonly done on defender 90s in singapore. due to import tax reasons, the bare spec 90 is shipped over here and then the windows and such are put on. a bare spec TDCi 90 (as a commercial truck) will set you back by $120k SGD!! ok, so that's beside the point, but yes, it's do-able. the only difficult bit is cutting along the curve and getting the left and right to align. while it might have looked simple to me, it's actually a lot of accuracy involved with your tool. if you're confident, go for it. if not, it's better not to try to cut a hole and then patch it back. depending on which roof you have and how large a hole you have cut, they can end up leaking after the bodywork starts to flex and the rubber seal starts to dry. sure, it looks nice, but my take is, i can live with one less leak.
