Auto body repair & detailing: Auto roof repair, monte carlo ss, 2006 monte carlo ss
QuestionI'm interested in buying a salvaged/rebuildable 2006 Monte Carlo SS. The car was in a rollover accident, so the roof is badly damaged. It's bent, and crushed. Is it a good idea to buy such a car. And if so how would to go about repair the roof. And what would to do about the sunroof.
AnswerA salvage title means it has to be inspected by the state before it can be put back on the road. The best way to repair the roof is to buy a used roof section including the pillars with a sun roof included also. You splice the roof in the pillar area the splice must be staggered meaning not just in a straight line. This is a difficult repair not for the novice. If the price is right and you intend on keeping it then it is worth it . But if you plan on reselling it may be hard to turn a profit with a salvage title.
Thank you for the question!
