- The friendly folks at DDAE show us another sunroof installation. This time its on a late model Dodge Charger. Learn as you watch so you to can cut a hole in your perfectly good car's roof. There is nothing like a sun roof, so get a cold beer, your tools and get to it.

Excellent job. No issues installing sunroof even for a brand new vehicle, as long as done by a professional, as seen in this video....
Great advice!! Read twice and cut once!!! Thanks!
I would only point out three things as a sunroof fitter for the last 40 years 1/ we use an air-chisel to cut a small v cut opening in the middle of the cut out area NO fillings at all . 2/ From day one when using a shear to cut the roofs { best tool in the world for us sunroof installers} we were shown by the sunroof manufacturers {Holandia now Webasto to cut in an anti clockwise direction , the way the shear is designed it will force the salvaged metal up and away so there is no distortion on the remaining roof skin . Last one sealant is always applied to the underside of the sunroof frame not onto the roof itself , I suppose that one is not compulsory but it is a better way to appply without dripping sealant onto the seats etc .
Hey Howard. Great comment, not enough constructive comments cz every1 is so sensitive about finding out they were less than perfect. I need help anyway, I was hoping you could, and were willing.....
I drive a '10 RAM Laramie C/C Shortbase 5.7L.......So, with the moonroof up, I backed into a commercial garage door opener(spotter said, "Clear!". lol) and it broke the sliding arm/connector/ t-track on one side. It functioned for a while, just fine if I pulled that corner down a bit just as it was closing. I had kept the 'T' for awhile but my toolbox got stolen a couple weeks ago, so I don't have it:( .......At some point the other side came off the track and I could lift the glass right out, with no power. Just sat in there. Everything still works great, motor, tracks, very clean, but ofc it doesn't take the glass with it. Always stayed dry.
My questions: 1. Can you buy just the plastic arms? with the 'T' or separate?
2. I checked out the Pik-n-Pull. (Not a single truck with a sunroof); I was walking out and there was a Caddy CTS.... with a sunroof. I know it sounds stupid, but the more I looked at it the more I was convinced it was the same unit, or at least the frame and glass, the arms I wasn't sure. The overall fit, I didn't have a tape with me, so I don't know. I found the parts on Rock Auto, Mopar and GM but they don't have the specs with them........ So, Are these arms somewhat universal? The roofs themselves? Or maybe1 or 2 manufacturers that coincidentally end up with the same parts in some vehicles?
3. Do I need to remove the whole frame assembly to make this repair? (Already have the liner off)
Hope I'm not putting you on the spot, i'm getting desperate, been 2yrs. Tx, either way.
Regards,
Thanks Howard for the pointer. We will try that next time. Thanks for watching BDP
Excellent video!
5 star
Wow that was super easy 🕺🏽
This sunroof seems like it would be good in my 95 chevy would match the era with my rear side window
gode jop ....col from algiria..... merci pour votre travail et je suis très contente pour BMW
Might get one, then wrap it so the sun doesn't shine in. No air con in the old ute, and I like the look of a pop up sun roof.
WELL DONE GUYS!!!!!
Good job. Clean neat
Professional
Thank you for uploading this. I just bought a replacement sunroof which is pretty much exactly the same as yours and i was wandering how to fit it. Mine did come with a few rolls of different sealant tape but it looks like its not needed if you just use tube sealant.
What brand of sunroof kit was that? I would like to install one in my 79 f150?
Im installing a CRL 20x32 sunroof in my el camino the only thing unsure of is when u apply the clear waterproof caulk and lay the top frame down... do you then go ahead and mount the bottom frame right away or do you let the top frame and caulk dry and seal before mounting the bottom frame???
what kind of sealant is the one you used between the body and the sunroof frame. thanks
Oh man.. i wouldn't stay around to see them make a hole in my roof. the thought alone makes me sweat buckets..
Excellent
Superb uncle
He made the cutting look easy. I'm a little less nervous about that bit now.
Where is the mention of ANYTHING he used, though? This is more of an ad than a how-to.

Johnathon Wheeler maybe they didn't you opinionated person

Just what he said. Thanks for the kind words and keep watching. All the best BDP
Se puede adquirir desde china ??
ok job, you should have peeled the headliner back and tucked it. i installed roofs for about 6 years and i hated the look of the trim ring....
Thanks Rich, post one of your installs. Would love to see it. BDP
Where did you get the sunroof from?
They have similar sunroofs on Amazon in varying sizes.
Please, what kind of tool you use to cut the steel of the roof, looks real clean.
Эд Красный It looks like a powered metal cutting shears.
Thanks.
Bueno dias. Solicito informacion de un quema cocos mecanico como el que muestra en el video, para un automovil vocho sedan mexicano 20013
Yeah, absolutely. Thanks for watching....BDP
Sir,

Ok...thanks for watching and for you comment...I think...BDP...over
The f-in music.... :-/ What kind of sealant?? Good video and thanks for posting
I want one installed on my car. But to scared to do it myself.
How much this
On voit le joint blanc, à la 5'37''. ! 👀
All of these leak. I had one on my old civic now I'm deleting it with a piece of aluminum and riveting it on
Not my experience, maybe different factors play into that. Had an aftermarket sunroof like this installed in my '87 VW Golf GT in '88...sold it in '92 and it was still like new....never any leaks. Aside from the ground effects install, the sunroof was one of the best things I did to it. Lot of fun.
How can I buy it how much?
It's better u buy a second hand car already attached to it rather than buying a new panaromic roof...cuz it gonna cost you £1000 for installation
I need to know were can i come to add sunroof. anybody know any company name or address so i can add sunroof on my car.
The out side looks like shit water is going to flow right in
Eu mesmo estou fazendo o meu aque no brasil
You can see glue between the spaces on the roof line. This is one giant fuck up.
Money tot?
nice - he used Silicone for the sealant...... the acid cause rust before he closed it the first time.....
Yes, only the best products are used a DDAE's shop.
Buy him where I'm from Indonesia

Yeah is was more like screaming NOOOOOOOOO! Thanks for watching BDP
First, get some quality hole saws for metal.
Firstly DO NOT use a hole saw , it will spread metal fillings all over the place and when your cutting if one metal filling gets under the cutting tool you will be up for a new paint job as it will scratch the SHIT out of the paint .
Hole saws will ruin the paint
Pancin yoksa alayim
Wey eso es lo que hicieron con el spark 😂😂😂😂
Cual spark?
➕👕👏
Ow not no 😪😰😨😱😰😥😓😓😓😭😢
That's pretty clearly a wood holesaw!
Stevie wins the prize....thanks for watching BDP
Stevie Howard bi- metal
Too bad
Don't do this to any car.
Patrick O'Steen Why is that?
Zmansk88 OE sunroofs are made to fit the curvature of the car, so that they don't leak. They are also designed to reinforce the body of the vehicle, to replace the metal that is not present in a car with a sunroof. Cutting a hole and cramming a piece of glass into it is a big mistake.
+Patrick O'Steen cut your shit idea its not like that
+jojo jet I make sunroofs for a living, so I'm very well informed on this subject.
sorry to say i did this to any car
exterior doesnt look good. water is gonna leak.
webasto is the best
djextremoo ઊઊ
It did leak and we ended up cutting the roof off completely. I forgot to install my SIM in the camera and did not get the video. Will try again next time. Thanks for your comments keep watching. BDP
Unprofessional sealed this is going to leak 100%
Very bad looking from outside I mean the Rubber look very cheap
Thanks for the comment. Yeah it’s a POS. All the best BDP.
all money not good money. you just lost potential customers by installing that pop up roof... very sad day for gear heads
Looks like S***
Horrible
Thanks for the kind words.
