Thank you guys!

I´ve been studying the threads here in this awesome place for hours!

The sunroof is giving me a headache or two right now.

The frame i made up with the shrinker/stretcher has to be matching the form of the roof, so i have to lower the sections of the frame at several points or rise them.

Today i saw here a good trick, to bend the L-Frame with the low/highspots with the help of a second piece of metal layed over/under the metal you are going to bend.
Second step would be to shrink/stretch the edges to get the radius.

I just gave it a try, but the metal i use is to thick (i want enough strenght) so i went for 1.5mm sheetmetal.

Will try with 1.0mm again, that will work (i hope)
I need about 30-45min for the sunroof frame, so i give it another try!

The other Idea is, just weld the Frame to the edge of the roof cut out...

I know there a different routes to go, but at this point i need to chose the as easy as possible route for me.


cheers
Olli
