Good morning,

As you can see the roof of my 2006 SL doesn’t look great! It’s not leaking one bit.. but looks horrendous, anything I can do as a novice? (When it comes to cars all I can do is drive them) or should I take it too an indie?


On a side note has anyone had read arches resprayed curios of cost.

Thanks
Richie

Apologies for going over covered ground I just haven’t seen any like mine.

Here is the DIY guide

Depends really if the seal is damaged at all.

I guess you could only tell once you take it off? Then there is the issue that it won’t go back on and this at the moment is being used by me daily and isn’t garaged :(
I’d take a good luck and poke and prod with it still in place. If it has damage I’d order a new one before starting the repair.
